Apparently glow with 2 plugs and a Tillotson carb.
I got this from a friend who bought it a while ago and was not going to use it. Any ideas on the brand? Besides the markings on the carb, there is nothing else.
Thanks for looking.

I have no idea about the manufacturer on this engine, but I vaguely (that is, VERY vaguely) recall some people experimenting with dual plug engines years ago, perhaps in the early to mid 70's. I wonder if you have a custom built engine, a one-off.

I wonder if anyone at the Model Engine Collector's Association (MECA) site can help you? http://www.modelengine.org/ If you do find out, would you post something back here. That's a nice engine. If it's a one-off, it might be valuable to someone. Has it been run?

That's a very interesting design, with a backplate mount. And it looks like the carb is inducted directly into the cylinder. It would be interesting to know how that carb works.
