Chrysler bought West Bend in 1965 and continued into the mid-80’s . The small ones like yours mimic the old Elgin/West Bend designs….from which they were based. I imagine your motor will turn out to be early 70’s. Mine is a 1972.
They use a fuel pump and can run off of any standard marine fuel tank. 50:1 as they have bearings. Simple ultra-reliable magnetos and usually Tillotson carburetors. Lightweight and powerful. Parts are plentiful with just a bit of searching. Very easy to work on.
