I don't find that number.I see you are in Canada<br />it's possible those numbers are for an export motor or specifically for Canadian production.<br /> West Bend didn't have Domestic oroduction until 55/56.Motors before that date were considered for export.You might try at The Antique Outboard Motor Club at www.aomci.org Someone may have your<br /> numbers.In the mean time a detailed description<br />might help pin down a hp range and year of production.Include number of cylinders,type of tank,color,type of cover and the material it is made of,full gear shift,spark plug type,any fuel mix info,a best guess horse power range,aircooled/water cooled,make of carburater.

Well its green in colour, one cylinder has the "bedpan" gas tank on top, and rope pull start on top, no rewind. The lettering is yellow. I will check it closer tomorrow and see if there are other markings.

Being a 1 cylinder my guess would be a 2 or 3.5 hp.Very good chance being green it is a 2 hp.<br />The 2 hp has an aircooled power head.Lots of fins for cooling and a airshroud with fins on the flywheel to move air.Being an export motor it might be a 2.5 or 3.5 hp.which would be water cooled.<br /> Have you asked around at The Antique Outboard Motor Club someone there will surely have info on your numbers.
