That would be a 1948 five horse Gale Products model 2G3 – One of Gale products more popular models. With a different trim, color, and gas tank, it was sold by Evinrude under the Elto label.
Most parts for the Elto are carried by the parent company of Evinrude, now BRP. This would be the insides of the starter mechanism. (On a different motor.)
This is the 5 horse Elto – A year newer with a newer starter – guts of which were used on 40 horse Evinrudes for 10 years. . . 😀
– And the carburetor . . . 😉
The bottom shut off needle is a shut off valve. Turned all the way in, it shuts off the fuel to the carburetor. It is turned all the way out to run the motor. The high speed adjustment is adjusted for best running at high speed. The low speed adjustment is a bit tricky. It adjusts how far the carburetor venturi (AKA throttle valve) stays open at an idle. Turning it out is easy. Turning it in in some cases can damage the ramp it rides against on the venturi. I find it best to speed up the motor slightly , turn in the adjusting screw and then retard the magneto lever to see how the change effects the idle. One strainer screen is at the base of the carburetor bowl. The other is in the fuel tank. The fuel mix was given as a third of a pint to the gallon.
