    I hate to butt in this thread, but it looks like Kelly and I are in the same boat,
    so to speak.

    I just brought a Motorgo home from Tomahawk, which I was told was
    a “Motorgo Junior”, made by Muncie.

    According to the info pointed out on Jack’s site, it seems that all the “Junior”
    models were made by Caille?

    Caille was the manufacturer for the Sears, Roebuck and Co. line of Motorgo outboards from 1928 to 1932.
    (The exception in 1932 was the 3 h.p. model which was made by Muncie Gear Works Corporation.)

    20 h.p. Motorgo Big Boy
    14 h.p. Motorgo Senior
    6 h.p. Motorgo Junior.
    3 h.p. Motorgo (Cailles were 2.75 h.p. actually, but Sears rounded up)

    Mine has a “J4029” number, which leads me to believe it’s the 6 hp Junior made
    by Caille, not Muncie.
    Are my conclusions correct?
    Thanks.
    I presume the funky “green” paint is incorrect.

    I’m guessing my exhaust has been modified?
