I got this from a co-worker the other day.
It's been in this form and in his possession for (25 - 30?) years, so he thinks.
It appears to possibly be home-made from an implement type alternator from an old Sears GT.
It hasn't run for at least 4 or 5 years until today. I tossed a bit of gas in it and it Wants to run. It does run with the choke mostly closed.
It'll need to be cleaned out and likely will be fine.
Can someone help me ID the engine??
It looks like it was originally Copper colored.
I need to order parts for a carb rebuild.
I took a few pics all the way around and would be glad to get a specific spot.
I could not find any numbers but also don't know where to look.
Look at the "muffler". I have no idea what that is but it sure does NOT muffle anything !
Also, Why the big housing and huge drive pulley attached to the engine instead of just 1:1 drive?
The alternator is rated at 3600 RPM. Shouldn't the engine be more than able to do that?
