I thought St Lawrence as well, however the St Lawrence twins I have seen have completly seperate cylinders, and spoked flywheels. The heads and crankcase covers do look St L.
Still scratching my head

I'll try again. The engine is or was in its original form a St.Lawrence "Lightweight" high speed(relatively speaking) introduced in 1911 and built as late as 1922. The bore and stroke are 4" x4". I had one once. The head and crankcase should be aluminum. The exhaust manifolds were also originally aluminum, but they disintergrated quickly and were usually replace with regular cast iron jobs. It appears this one was given a rework by another company, as the atwater kent timer is not from St. L. as it had a no frills fiber and rotor job. The 2 cyl was rated at 8-12 hp and was intended to replace the 3 cyl, which was also 8-12 hp. Best of luck.
