Default Anybody remember the Centermark twin

Digging through my engine closet today and found an old Centermark twin in the back that I forgot I had. Never got the instructions and don't remember what I used to run on it. Anybody have any info on this old beast? Looks like a Horner crankcase with different jugs and ignition. Was it 60 cc or 80 cc? What prop would you run on it.


Thanks in advance,

My friend manufactured those engines, 60, 80 and 100 were made using the same crankcases. To be honest there were not many propellers available in the size range needed back in the day when he was making them, unlike today. When I think back he was ahead of the time.

These were left over Horner twins.Center Mark installed Sachs piston and cyls on some of them and called them a Horney Sachs.Heard some of them run pretty good.I had one and sent sent it to have Sachs parts installed on it. Never seen it again which I was glad of.They usually broke crankshaft.

Don't look like Sachs jugs to me, but they have been highly modified.
