Looking to buy this Economy. Can you tell me what it is? (pay no attention to the unpainted flywheel that goes to another engine)

Thanks!

It is a CT Stover re-tagged as an Economy which Sears did sometime after Hercules stopped manufacturing engines. Looks nicely restored.

That Stover/Economy is a throttle governed kerosene engine, probably a CT1. I have one of those in original paint (whats left of it). Sears bought these engines from Stover from 1934 to about 1940, when they switched to Cushman.
