this interesting engine. "It is a
4 cycle water cooled single cylinder engine . I do know
that it was made in the German town of Chemnitz and I
would say that it was definitely pre ww2. It looks like
it may have been marine but then again no one in the
marine circles knows any thing about it ." |

Keith Kinney is looking for any information possible on this little marine engine. Just click on the image to go to his page. |
| The three images above were sent in by Dave Otto at: dotto@micron.net Dave describes this engine as: "It is about 3 hp and almost appears to have been shop made. Not that all engines weren't built in shops but this one looks like it may have been a one off type of deal. Except for the major parts, block, water hopper, flywheels, and head, all of the parts have been machined from solid bar stock." | ||
