Hello Folks,

Please consider the pics and advise if you can help ID it. There are no name plates remaining. It appears to have had the intake and exhaust modified. Also the carb seems to be missing parts and linkage etc etc Perhaps Brown and Talbot?

Thanks!

Could this be a Wolverine skiff engine? They had a crank like a British twin motorcycle--both cranks in phase.

I have no idea? I thought there was a solid resemblance to the Brown and Talbot. How and or where would I be able to find info on Wolverine? Any idea on vintage? Would this have had a gear box attached? Thanks!

In my Pre 1940 marine engine data
base there is only one reference
to a gib keyed flywheel with 5 bolts
securing it ! By looking at the design
of the flywheel and the other data
such as 4 cycle and caged valve
chambers, I believe there is a high
probability that this is the
manufacturer of your engine !
This manufacturer does not show
up in the Yellow or Red book by
Wendel nor is it in any of Graysons's publications ? a very obscure engine,
and the only one I've seen.
Good luck with further research and
let us know what you find !
The single in the photo is not your engine
your twin a different design ?

This is a 1911 article

Richard,

Thanks for your efforts. It spins free and has compression, I am contemplating trying to make it run. Is the fab work that was done to the manifolds prohibitive? I can make new manifolds that "look" more period appropriate? Also, should I try to ID the carb for parts purposes or just look for a complete carb elsewhere?

Looks like a exhaust jacket to heat the inlet air - perhaps a kerosene option?
If you can arrange pattern, foundry and machine shop, a casting might be best option.
A fabrication is possibly the easiest solution but you need to be a fabricator. It will rust if used in salt water. Galvanizing a possibility but hard to get the zinc inside the jacket.
Or you could keep the current manifold as this is now part of the history of the engine...
Great to see the water jackets are not rust wedging. (I like to fill them with soluble oil. The Chrysler manual said to use kerosene.)
