I was just about to say the same thing.To save you a little keyboard work Mod 1 ,this engine was designed and built by Ole EVINRUDE.Put the thread wherever you want.You know I've been around long enough to find it ,but the background is there.

Well ,it is here .Elto Light Twin engine # 5208.A look up in the manual dates 1922.Sad thing is the heads /jugs are freeze damaged,and need replaced.Wireing is understandably a little sketchy,but not bad at all.Everything else is all intact and ready to be cleaned up.This could be fun if I can find the jugs.
