Please help me identify these engines.
I was recently given a box of old control line and RC engines. Being fairly new to the hobby, I have no idea what the control line engines are or if they are worth hanging onto. I've attached a photo of the engines, along with a number identifying it and a list of the markings on the engine itself. If you know anything about one or all, please enlighten me! Thanks.
1 - 4. No Markings
5. Merco 61
6. OS Max 10
7. Torpedo 15
8. Enya 09
9. Johnson 35
10. Max1 OS 35
11. Fury Twin
12. Super Tigre G32 1cc Carter
13. Webra 2.5R
14. Same as #12
15. Enya 35 Model 5224
16. No Markings
17. ED 146 ZD107
18. Webra

1-4 are: a Cox Babe Bee .049, a Cox .049 product engine (like from a plastic RTF), looks like a Pee Wee 020 short block, missing the tank, and a Cox .049 Black Widow.

I'd say #1 and #3 are the Cox 02s, 2 and #4 are 049s. Number 16 may be a PAW diesel. Your little Allyn twin looks like the 09 version, but tney weree also built in a 15 size.

RE: Please help me identify these engines.
Bill, you're right-#1 is a PeeWee. My eyes aren't what they never used to be.
I have to DQ myself on the diesels since I know nothing about them. The rest are mostly pretty common. The Twin, the Greenhead 15, and the Johnson have some cache to folks that collect or use them in nostalgia kind of planes. Some are very common, like the Coxes and the Enya 35. The OS 35 would be attractive to someone flying Classic or Old Time Stunt CL. With the possible exception of the Twin, I would put them in the use and enjoy category.

The diesels will all fetch good money on ebaY. The ST G-32's are particulaly valued. Cartier means crankcase in Italian.

Number 13 is the Webra Mk-1 which is a great running and very powerful diesel. Number 18 is a Webra Comet if it is a .15 (2.5cc) or a Bully if it is a .19 (3.25cc). I think it is the Comet.

#7 looks to be a Torpedo 19. The predissor to the K&B version. #9 looks to be a Johnson 29 which was a great quality motor in it's time. #15 is an Enya 35, early Japanese entry in to the American model engine market.

RE: Please help me identify these engines.
From memory...which may be incorrect. I remember a Torpedo series that had a 3-bolt backplate before the K&B ones. I THINK the first K&B .19's had the 4-bolt backplate but no green heads. Then they started having green heads on all K&B Torpedo engines.
The #7 has been identified as a Torpedo .15 from markings on the engine, I believe. One of my K&B Torpedo .15's has a different type needle valve than shown, and the other is missing the needle valve assembly. The one shown may have a replacement.
An interesting item on the Enya is the pressure fitting below the crankshaft. My .35 model 5224 does not have this, but it is the round intake version. My .29 (5224) with the square intake does have it. I wonder if all with the square intake have the pressure facility? Mine has the screw installed and the pressure fitting in the box.
Don't have any Johnson engines so can't help with those.

My .35 model 5224 has the round venturi and no pressure tap while my .35BB with the square venturi does have the tap. I'm fairly certain the square venturi models have the tap because they came with 3 different sized venturis as standard. The largest venturi was too big for suction feed so needed pressure. The later round venturi was the only one supplied and was good for suction feed.

Makes sense.
Here are a couple of pics. I just noticed that the needle and pressure fitting are still in the box for the .29 but the two heads and three venturis are shown.
