Hello this is my first posting at this site. I have a E.M. White power canoe that I am restoring. This plan is to make it as historicly correct as possible. The problem I am having is that I can't determine what brand, type and size motor would have been installed. It was made in Maine somewhere in the 1905-1918 range. I would be great to hear from anyone with info or ideas about this project. Thanks in advance, KimE. M. White

T.M.Chapman & Sons Was an Iron Foundry and Machine shop in Oldtown, Maine est. around 1900.
They made many things over the years, were big in Heading & Hoeboard Machines. The marine engines were canoe sized 2 cycle -single and twins - they had a 6 Spoke flywheel with T.M.Chapman cast into the face.
Don't know if any are still in existence ??

To date, I have seen 6 Chapman engines, all two cylinder, jump spark. There is some variation in the ignition systems, one of the most interesting is the wipe spark.

This one is more typical of the type.
