Could you identify a small gas engine?

Hello,

I'm attempting to restore a small coal gas engine, (well I think it's a coal gas engine), and wonder if anyone could recognise it and/or offer any help in identifying the missing items such that I can remake the missing bits. The details are all on the following web site

The engine is a two stroke flame ignition type, but is missing the gas throttle/mixture and flame control assembly, gas/fuel cam, flame ignition cam follower/ rocker. I also would like to know what the valve timing should be, and maybe what they were used for.

However, any information would be welcome.

Thanks,

Mike

Finally got round to looking in A-Z and now pretty sure this is a 'Leek' engine. However that soubriquet is even more inaccurately applied than usual in this case as the company (actually British Modelling and Electrical Co. - my memory was faulty on that one) was in Macclesfield during it's early days. The move to Leek brought a change of name to the British Engineers and Electrical Co. and the introduction of a new range of Otto cycle engines.
