This is a mostly complete Hit and Miss model engine built from a Ted Young kit, I believe. You can see “The Young” on the side of the base casting. I know next to nothing about this hobby or this model, so please carefully examine the photos and ask questions, if you have any. I will do my best to answer them. The research I did is summarized below. This engine kit was advertised in Model Tec magazine by a Ted Young. There is a building series of articles in the Model Tec magazine back several years ago. It is hit & miss design with spark plug ignition. It is hopper cooled with two flywheels. It has a 1-1/4″ bore x 1-7/8″ stroke. It is a free lance design. Not of any particular known engine. The flywheels are about 6 in diameter. It is about 7.5″ high and about 12″ long. Also, there is no evidence that it has been run and there are pieces missing. From my research, it would, at a minimum, need a magneto, wiring, and an oiler. In my opinion, it was skillfully crafted from the kit. The work does not appear shoddy, but I accept no responsibility for its condition, missing pieces, etc. What is in the photos is what you will get.
