I found this engine in a shed in northern Idaho but I haven't been able to identify it. No name plates or the like. Any help would be appreciated so I can see if I can make it run.     |

Actually the base mounting ears (very wide) say Bruce Stewart Imperial from Prince Edward Island Nova Scotia.
Roberts was an engineer there at some time.
Roberts, Mullins and Bruce Stewart are all almost identical. Roberts and Mullins are identical as the Mullins engines were rebadged Roberts. Bruce Stewart Imperial Engines were later and have some differences. There might be dates in one of Stan Graysons books.
Hope this helps
