This is a single cylinder marine engine that was picked up in inland Australia being used as a stationary engine. So far, nobody can tell me much about it. Cast into the crankcase doors is the name "PLIX". The carby is an Australian made Alpha which appears to be a copy of a Schebler. I am assuming the carby is original. |

Sorry to disappoint but I believe the Plix engines rather than being marine were actually lighting plants hence the lightening bolt through the logo. There a couple of articles on Gas Engine Magazine, below is a link

Hope this helps, Jules |

These engines also went by the name Matthews. Definitely an engine from a gen set. It should have a plate with a set of points where the hole is.
