mystery engine #2
This ones a four stroke and I think definately English. Merco carb is one reason but the engine just looks very similar to the 1930's homebuilt tether boat engines I have found in the past.
This one is also glow not ignition and I will need to make an exhaust stright pipe for it. Bill

Re: mystery engine #2
This engine is a casting kit engine from about 1936-38 from England.
Somewhere around a 10-15cc and is probably called a ''Matador''. This is info supplied by a very knowlegable gentleman over in the UK. Currently he is looking for all the building articles and running info for me. Bill
