Hi All

Something for the you guys to comment on, purchased these at the weekend, didn't realise i got the engine, hidden in a box under fuel tanks, so what is it.

the second item is a carb and manifold of about 1910/11, however my guess is it is for a stationary engine due to the controls on top of the carb, i purchased it as i am looking for a manifold for 1911 Model "D", having now offered it up to the engine i find it it 2" to long, so did they produce an engine with a longer stroke.

awaiting your knowledgable posts

It is the carburetor for the stationary engine. I have the same that came with a 1918 4hp (600cc) engine; big brother to the 2-3/4hp. I am not aware that style manifold ever being used on the bigger engines (even the 3-1/2hp). I does certainly look like the manifold for the 1910-12 2-3/4hp, but the longer length is a mystery.
