A copy of the specifications says
15 HP Marine Motor Model A-2
Gasoline, kerosene, fuel oil, gas oil

I`m not understanding how it could be all of the above and still include fuel oil (diesel) Can someone explain the to me?
Thankyou

I wonder could the term fuel oil mean what used to be called distalit (SP) Not quite diesel but further down the scale than kerosene??

Beautiful engine.

It looks like the restored 2 cylinder Mianus that was at the Mystic Seaport engine show a few years ago... belonged to "Joe", I'm sure we have pictures of it somewhere.

This engine was alleged to have came from Maine about 5 years years ago and was buried in a garage since. No sign of restoration.
I would like to see pictures of the restored Mianus you mentioned if you can find them. At this point in time I expect to just clean it and study it for a spell. Maybe this spring.....

This are the two pics of that engine that I have in my files, I'm sure someone here has better photos... and they might be with the Mystic Photos posted elsewhere on this site. I don't recall what year it was...

Thanks for the photos. I can understand a bit more now about what I need to get accomplished to make mine presentable. If I have a chance I will try to track down the owner and maybe pick up some details about water and lubrication plunbing connections.
Hope mine will look as nice.
