I would be interested to know what it is also... but I don't think it is a marine engine. Notice how narrow the base is, and notice that the aft side of the flywheel seems to have "ears" for a flywheel governor. Also notice how long the keyway is on the output shaft... why would you need a keyway that long if you were just going to have a coupling... more likely a "pulley". |

I think it was one of the Cushman "Binder engine" competitors. The name escapes me at this time. Quite sure it is not marine.
Have a good holiday everyone

a binder engine for sure. Has a flywheel governor, and long shaft for a pulley. not wet exhaust. it could easily have been made by a marine engine company, most binder engines were. |

Check Wendel page 168. I think its a Fairfield binder engine. Made by Fairfield Engine Co. Fairfield, Iowa. Ca 1915-1920s. |
