I picked it up at a swap meet a few years ago for a cross country bird I was building. I ended going with a Saito 125.
No markings

Thats a 1980's John Maloney 100 or 125 on ignition. That muffler is home made, the engine came with a bullet shaped muffler with two exhaust stacks that could be arranged to fit any particular cowl. These engines are very reliable, but dont produce a whole lot of power. I needed an electric starter to get mine to start, but it never quit on me once started.

Like Barry sez, need to use a starter with the Maloney. They were not designed to hand start. Nice little engine for its time. The 100s were known to be underpowered, but the 125 worked well for me. Best in a light wing loading airframe, cub, champ, etc. Try to keep radio components away from the magneto.

Thank you all very much for the information. I really dont have any use for it at this time and was going to sell it on Ebay. I will be happy to give you guys first crack at it if you think you can use it.
Thanks again for all your info
