Chuck,
Get a number off the Webster ignitor/bracket .... you may have to release mag. Unusual hopper opening.

Re: Does anyone know what kind of engine this is?
I agree with Doug...get those numbers off the bracket/mag....
The new variations of the "big yellow book" have an appendix of these numbers and what they went to.....it would enable you to narrow it down quite a bit I would suspect...if you don't have the book with the numbers, post them here and someone will be able to look them up and tell you which mfr it was that used that one. rh

Looks pretty rare whith that hopper opening and the main caps on the back side of the frame. I have seen one other engine with this style mains, (I don't remember the hopper), and no one knows who made it either.

I have seen a 7 hp Monarch made by Nelson Bros with that exact main bearing mounting, I think you have a very special Engine.

Re: Does anyone know what kind of engine this is?
I have seen 2 other engines including the one Ray mentioned with the crankshaft and flywheels hanging out past the base with the bearing caps taking the force of ignition, not to mention the shear force of the flywheel crankshaft weight. It looks like a weak design (but great for a collector) My theory is, the first few engines made had a name tag but after the engines started self-destructing from the design flaw, that they quit putting their name on it so it would be hard to find the maker to complain.

Re: Does anyone know what kind of engine this is?
David Brown brings a Monarch to Powerland quite often that is built this way. I took several pictures but cannot find the at this moment. Seems his also has a strange hopper. Les
