Hi!
It´s an Archimedes B-22 from 1955.
The type B-22 was first in the market 1938. It become a strong seller for the Archimedes company, then in Sundbyberg near Stockholm later, after 1966 in Uppsala.
In 1941 the Archimedes company was sold to the Electrolux company which sold it to Monark-Crescent company, therefor it moved to Uppsala.
It is very small differences between your motor and how they looked 1938. The flywheel with the magneto, the tumbscrews and the gasoline tank are the only parts that not
are the same.
The motor is rated at 12 hp and 3200 rpm
It is 345 cc
Cylinder is 60 mm and stroke is 61 mm
It was in production until 1979!!
In the 60´s and later we in Sweden called it “jungle motor” because it was most exported too South America and Africa.
Hoping this will help you a little.
