My Dad inherited this engine and we are looking for help identifying. The only markings are the Schebler carb. He heard a story that perhaps this had been in a small True Rocket sailboat with cockpit that was on the Merricmack River in Amesbury, Mass.

Richard- Sorry for the double posting. I checked some of your other photos and I think you've helped solve this long time mystery!! Thanks from my dad and me. Next question- what to do with it. He's 91 and not planning on using it anytime soon. It doesn't have a name plate or muffler and not sure it runs. Here is a coil (think it is a Model A) that he was hoping to use with it.  |

Well known in NH. Interesting design as there is no bottom half to the strap which holds the con rod to the throw. Makes a distinctive rattle when the ignition is cut off. I a have a con rod and piston for one but nothing else. |

McDuff called that model the "BumbleBee", see
See this link
It's a nice little motor and I'm sure there would be some potential buyers on this site if you are selling it. |

Can anyone tell me vintage? The engine is currently located in the southern Finger Lakes region. Anyone in that area know much about them? |

I'm here in the N Y Fingerlakes but they are rare here. I knew of one in tough shape but have lost contact with the owner. It too was in the South West finger lakes...Was with a launch that needed restoration.. |
