Eska 5hp, Model 1705D, Serial# 204583. Has fuel tank on top and a connection for an external tank. I believe its air cooled. 1 cyl. I assume its 2cyl.
Can anybody tell me more about it and its age?

I've got a 1974 Wed Williams made by Eska. It's a 7.5 hp. I've been runnin chain saw oil in it for 2 yrs now, with no problems. I was advised that it works better for air cooled engines. I use Penzoil, available at the auto parts chain stores.:)
