How do you start the engine? Do you place a belt around the flywheel and pull? I see the primer cup/petcock and assume that the ignition is provided by a buzz coil and battery

I think the wood battery box to the left contains the buzz coil and battery and wires. The wires would run to the timer (arm sticking out by flywheel in last picture)and the HV lead
would of course run to the spark plug.
I believe starting would be done by just pulling the flywheel around manually past TDC a few times.

The battery box contained Ever Ready dry cell batteries when we got the canoe. If you look closely at the third picture you can see a wooden plate where the buzz coil used to be mounted. We use one out of an old Ford now.The starting procedure is as described above. A crank came with it but people who know a lot more about these engines than I do did not recommend it's use due to the possibility of kickback. If you look at the marks on the battery box and under the flywheel you can see not everyone who started the engine in the past had the benefit of this advice.

Don, This canoe you have may have been designed for steam power originally. Do you think it is is a transitional piece or a re-power? I have a small steam canoe engine/boiler combo mounted on a cast iron pan for just such a craft! I am wondering if it has any makers name or build plate that will tell who made the boat? I am looking for a similar hull to run on steam. Brandon

It would seem the carburetor needs to be rotated until it is more or less level when the boat is underway and the stern settles.
