Please help me identify this engine. It is a four cycle, cast
iron, mechanical governor, 2′ bore and 1-1/2′ stroke.
I’ve been trying to find out the make and horsepower of the
above pictured engine. It is 4 3/4′ bore and 8′ stroke, one
flywheel on one side, belt pulley and governor on other side Serial
number on end of crank shaft is #934, pin on end of piston for
ignition, part number on flywheel is B36.
I have the engine running and have had it to several shows this
past year and I have looked through all the Gas Engine Magazines I
have for four years and also a lot of other old engine books. Maybe
someone knows what it might be?? [Sure hope so].
Pictured is an air-cooled engine supposedly manufactured in
Pipestone, Minnesota around World War One and before, by the
Kawalski Electric Company. This could be the one used on Standard
Cream Separator as I have seen one like it with Standard Cream
Separator stamped on a brass nameplate.
I am exploring this further as there should be someone from
Pipestone that remembers more on this. My brother, John, bought
this engine from a junk man for 35c and it had been in a shed for
30 years, then we decided to remodel it.
