Hi Jamie, saw the post on your caille, and went and dug out my engine that is similar - possibly smaller. On my engine: from the base to the top of the engine is 11", the flywheel is 10" and instead of a flanged exhaust mine is a 1" pipe thread and instead of a carb it has a 3/4" mixing valve. Mine does not have a water pump and it appears that yours does not either. I have always wondered about the pedestal type base - is it really a marine engine with this type of configuration?

Phil,
Jamie's engine is a Caille Bantam, origionally supplied with a 1/2" mixer and waterpump. Many early marine engines did use pedestal mounts. See the attached link for more info on the Bantam.

Jim, thanks for the info on Jamie's engine.
Richard, the gentleman I got the engine off of told me it was a Caille, however I have not found a way to confirm it, the only markings I have found anywhere on the engine is the embossed "upside down" F you see in the picture. Anything you could tell me about would be great.
Thanks Phil |

I catalog all photos of old marine engines that I can find and when trying to ID an engine I can scan through many photos, ad photos, catalogs etc and compare different styles, sizes ,years etc. With your engine in the post above I couldn't find any caille's with the same crankcase casting design, it may be an early model that I don't know of or it could be a different mfgr, not seeing any water pump or provisions for one it may have been a syphon circulated stationary of some kind ?? I asked the question hoping some one knew its origin so that I wouldn't have to add it to my unknown marine engine file that is getting longer all the time no matter how hard I try to put a mfgrs name on these old timers !
Thanks for posting the photo.

Phil,
I have a pedestal mount Caille but it is like Jamie's. Maybe a thread in the unknown section of this site will shed some light on what you have.
