Richard, On the four cylinder, what don't I see? The carbs/mixers don't seem to have an air intake, just fuel.

Keith, if you look at the mixer on the far right I believe the inlet is a short snout, the large adjustment knobs hide the rest of them.

Although not exact, the cylinder of the engine in the first pictures (1a-c) reminds me of features of the cylinder on these two engines. These two engines are both unknown. They are different but most likely made by the same person or manufacturer. Neat thread & hopefully it solves a lot of the unknowns, -Nick

The unknown and your black engine do share a lot in common, probably designed in late 1890's the pedestal base mount disappeared in early 1900's. your red engine is the later design with the crankcase split even with the crankshaft.
cool old stationary engines-- Thanks for posting photos !

Nick - we're supposed to be taking some of the unknowns off the list, not adding more! :-)
Thanks for posting. This should be a great thread. Blair

This is an old one, pedestal base and spiral flywheel which I think weren't used on marine engines after 1902 or 1903 ?

The one with the corrugated copper/brass jacket is quite a piece: obviously very early and no one off.

On the next one, with the missing jacket, has anyone ever seen "johnson bar" slots in the front face of a flywheel before? There doesn't seem to be any depression at the deep end of the slot for the bar to fit into though; could there have been some sort of kick or handle mechanism that went over the end of the crankshaft?

The end of a small compressed gas tank might make a good jacket given some heavy brass or copper plating first.
