Anyone have info on a Portage 4 stroke single? No pictures until snow melts! It's a 4HP Single that will run in either direction by removing the brass side plate and advancing or retarding the cam. Early 1900's?}}}

My sketchy notes have reference to Portage from 1906 to 1925, this very small ad was the same used 1910 thru 1913.

Their address was 105 Mullet Street Portage , Wisconsin on the river.

Portage ad July, 1907

The side panel removes to advance or retard timing, difficult if running. I'll try to get pictures next week. Thank you for the info Richard.
