I have a Universal Flexifour. All the data I find says it should be a model B,C,F,FA??
the brass data tag says mine is a type N B-X??
Ser# 18836. I would appreciate some help to identify HP? year, etc. I want to restore it to run good and maybe go to some antique engine shows. Aloha Dave M |

I had trouble with the above link. If you also have trouble try this.

Scroll down to Universal History near the bottom. |

I have a Type N Universal engine that Northern Pump coupled up with a gear pump. There are photos of it in this Topics section. Your post is the only other reference I have seen to the term Type N as opposed to the term Model N. Perhaps Universal used the terms interchangeably? The attached page was sent to me from a 1927 Universal catalog. Note the reference to 'The New Universal Flexifours' and that all four variations depicted are of the Model N. My Universal has 'Ricardo Head' and the November 13, 1923 patent date cast into the head. It has a lot in common with the model N engines shown here so I expect mine is in the same 1927 age range.
