I’m also thinking Continental. I put in too many hours turning wrenches on Allis-Calmer forklifts that had that identical engine...except the Allis engine was a six cylinder.

I don't think it's Continental, the N62 and Y91 had the distributor on the engine carb side..

Just looked at the Y91 in the MH Pacer, water outlet is at the head front, not where the engine pic shows. Oil fill is lower and further forward on the Y91. I wonder if you have a small Hercules similar the the MM BF and BG tractors used?

What are the raised characters at and maybe under the bracket on the head? For the fuel tank and air cleaner?

Maybe an early Wisconsin? Some of their engines used bolt on blocks to the crankcase.

Reminds me of the old Buda engines. They were bought by A/C in 1953.

Looks a lot like a Waukesha, maybe an ICK? Almost need a pic of the other side of it to be sure.

This has worked for me when trying to identify an oddball.

Find a number on the distributor.

Look that number up somewhere like Standard ignition then use their number to search for application or buyers guide.

Usually you can narrow it down to a few possibilities.

Kohler? They made a 4 banger water cooled that they put on a generator in about the '20's. Saw one in the museum in Sheboygan.

Looks like a small engine my dad had that was used to power up aircraft engines at the nearby air force base during the war. It had a 24 volt generator attached and was in a small cart that could be towed. Continental I think.
