As Martin is feeling the silence so acutely, can anyone identify this little engine:

I'm pretty useless on these small ones, and I always feel suspicious that they are recent models, rather than old.Regards, Arthur G
ID anyone?

Arthur, On the basis that the winner and the second place bidder are friends of mine I would say they both know what it is and I would suggest its possibly a hartop.

Not Hartop. That 'bolted down' cylinder is quite unusual in one so wee. ISTR a Butler model built like that, but I can't find it in the A-Z or P K's recent SEM article on that marque.
BTW. If this works it'll be my first post from new toy - a pocket PC!

Interesting to see the various items on offer and contemplate how many different Ebay IDs bought them :-) ttfn Roland
Contacted my friend who is now new owner of engine and he does not know what it is either ! just liked the look of it.
Mart> Nick,

? Just pointing out the similarity between these two engines. With so many small power engine builders assembling engines apparently from same basic castings, it's not uncommon to see several slightly different versions of the same basic receipe. Then there are the amateur built jobs, many of which probably never ran and have only been 'salvaged' in recent times.
