    Description

    Mercury Mark & Kiekhaefer WWII Military Small Engine.
    I haven't seen an engine like this before.  It bolts to the floor or some kind of frame.  It has a pulley on either side of the engine with the spark plug being contained inside of a compartment.  It has some kind of container within the body of the engine.  This tank could be for water or gasoline.  It is rope start, has a large muffler and a very large flywheel (photo to follow) on the opposite side with a shroud.  I can't really give you a good description because it was made early in the war and for some special purpose.  (last night a person suggested this motor was used in starting engines on airplane)  I STRESS that I do know what this motor is used for, I haven't tried I to start but the engine is free. Uses magneto for ignition (included).  I have not tried to the start the engine so you are buying it not running.  Good condition.
