The whole bottom end of that engine looks to be Penguin. I have never heard of a Penguin without a detachable water jacket on the cylinder barrel. Could the cylinder be off a Blaxland, as they were flange mounted?
Not a Vinco. They didn't use a flange-mounted cylinder.

Not a Vinco as Eric confirmed.(G'Day Eric)

Looks to be a Simplex 3 HP 2 stroke.
Not a lot around these days.

Trevor,

It looks very much like a Blaxland 'Super pup' to me. I understand they were rated as 4 1/2 hp and the twins were rated as 10 hp. A pic from the other side could help. Sorry it's been a long time since a saw a 3hp Simplex and will make inquiries with a brother whose memory is better than mine. Regards Laurie

Eric, I think you are probably right. I reckon itis a Penguin with a Blaxland pot fitted. The crankcases have extra bronze sealing around the crankshaft bearings and the bottom crankcase has an extension section for the Magneto mount.Drive to the prop would have been via the Flywheel

Having conferred with trusty brother and Neil Jones it seems the magneto drive is consistent with a Simplex (and not Blaxland) but the water pump appears different than the Simplex. So who has some good pics of a Penguin? Cheers.

Thanks Brian , They were excellent photos on the website you suggested. It is certainly a Penguin motor.If I remember rightly the removable water jacket and cylinder were "shot" rusted out and an attempt was made to fit a Blaxland Pot to it. These motors are probably pretty rare to find nowadays.
Regards Trevor.

Definitely a penguin, they had a basic dog clutch inside the flywheel where you can see the small shaft and retaining holes. Also as discussed the
magneto is correct and in that position.
