I was wondering if someone might be able to help in identifying an air cooled engine that I found the other day. The physical size is similar to a FH Briggs, but the engine lays horizontile with a mounting bracket on the top. The guy said he was told that it came off a washing machine and it is a Briggs. The blower shrowd is made of brass as is the flywheel. The flywheel has 4 slots in the face to let the air flow through to the fins on the cyl. and head. The only letters that I have found so far is a "R" on the face of the flywheel. There is evidence of black paint on the shroud. The valve set up is similar to a FH Briggs in that the pushrod is external and the intake uses a weak spring to let the mixture in the cyl. The carb, that is missing, bolted to the bottom of the engine and the exhaust goes out the other side of the block and then shoots out the top of the engine. The one thing that threw me for a loop was that there is a priming cup in the exhaust pipe right above the valve cage. The crankshaft doesn't go through the block on the backside of the engine. To my knowledge Briggs didn't make a horizontle model of any sort with an open valve train in the '20's. I'm at a loss as to what brand the engine could be. And the brass flywheel and shroud makes sence if it came off a washing machine. Oh, before I forget there is a chain sprocket bolted to the flywheel to drive the washing machine. Kelly
