What have we got?

[dkondelik]

Hi Guys (& Gals),<br /><br />I hope that someone can help with this. I was told that the motor is a 1928 1horse of unknown manufacture.<br /><br />The only identifying markings, anywhere on her, are on the bottom of the stator/ignition plate.<br /><br />(casting) R.E.PHELON CO.INC EAST LONGMEDOW MAS USA<br />(casting) PATENT NO 2472313 MODEL (stamping) F-3830<br /><br />The coil (looks relatively new) has REPCO in raised letters on the front<br /><br />The cylinder is water-cooled, the head is finned and air cooled. Exhaust runs down a pipe next to the drive shaft housing. Water pumps up a piece of copper tube to the block and back down another piece of tubing.<br /><br />She's a complete wreck. Piston/cylinder are rusted together. Foot is broken/cracked. Drive shaft & prop are frozen. Carb & reeds are missing.<br /><br />BUT,… she's begging to come back to life so if someone can ID this, we can get started

Got no fotos and I can't get 'um without your user name and password.<br /><br />Instead of putting the url nr, in "url" put it into "image" and see if that works.<br /><br />c/6<br /><br />Hooty

Looks like a Neptune Mighty-Mite, probably from the 1950s. Fairly common motors, somewhat sought after due to their "cuteness factor"... Approx 1.2hp...<br />- Scott
