Here is a reference to your model number; http://www.stationary-engine.net/forum/showthread.php?t=20063 The only ones I am familiar with are the 3.5kva units with two cylinder opposed side valve engine, they were from 1960's era. Not sure if yours is a WW2 type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
