    That is definitely not a 1946 Elgin 1.25hp.   That is a Tecumseh air-cooled powerhead, about 3hp.  It appears to be an Eska motor, although I have only seen one other one with the same midsection as that one has.  I’m putting the vintage to be most likely in the 1960s.  Definitely later than 1940s.  I’m not sure about the decal on the side.  Eska built lots of motors for Sears and Roebuck, but I have never seen an Elgin-badged Eska.
