This is my No.2 Eclipse. It was pulled out of a creek. It is 90% complete
but stuck solid. All I am missing is the magneto, the end of the carby and
fuel tank.This is also an early Eclipse engine. It does not have a patent
date cast on it. The patent date can be clearly seen on Edd's engine below.
I finally
removed the piston on 24th March 2001.

This is Edd Payne's No.2 Eclipse. These are mechanically very similar to the No.1, just bigger.
The No.2 has two 16" flywheels and a shipping weight of 370 pounds.
Note the patent date on this engine.
