4.5 KW?

What does a 4.5 look like?  Which engine is used?

I'm pretty sure the 4.5 Start-o-Matic used the 8/1 engine

Thanks.

The air cooled units always catch me by surprise.  Trough thinking is what I call it when others forget the alternatives.

Hi Casey,

It dosen't look like an air cooled unit to me. There is a radiator attached so it would be water cooled.
The air cooled models had a massive cowling around one of the flywheels that had attached a super-sized fan.

Matt

Hi Matt,

I think we've got our websites crossed.  This is the rusty old fart I was talking about.

That barrel sure looks like an air cooled VW / corvair to me.  And the 5th photo has the cowling you mentioned.
