Good advice from seakaye12.

Tecumseh made the engines, Eska made the rest.  Probably most were sold by Sears with their branding.  Sadly, Eska, Tecumseh, and Sears have all pretty much faded away.  I have one of these with no spark that I’ve never messed with, but I am pretty sure it could be gotten going with some improvisation in the ignition department, and they are kind of interesting motors as the only multi-cylinder, water cooled motors ever made by Tecumseh/Eska.

I think, but am not sure, that these use rotary valves rather than the usual reed  valves.  I also think they were not recommended for salt water use.

Good luck with yours.
