I prefer straight pipes, but this FM with a muffler, which appears to be original, has such a soft, soothing sound I could listen to it all day long.

I agree. I rallied this engine today and it didn’t disappoint. These Fairbanks Zs are really nice engines.

Thats a boat motor, the triangular wing mount on each side give it away. Those are for bolting it to the stringers..

A version of these were actually used in Douglas motorcycles. I think some of the internals are interchangeable.

In Australia, sometimes simple engines were copied by railway workshops. The unbranded copies were then used in crew carts for track maintenance etc. Yours may also have been used on farms to power small machines.

Noted the same thing, but reading the name plate, the brand is Auto Diesels Ltd. Interesting they made a small gas generator. Looks to be the same size approximately as my 2 cylinder Montgomery Wards plant from the same time period. 4 pole like mine, but this is 50 HZ instead of 60 HZ like mine, so it is running 1500 RPM instead of 1800 RPM. That explains the very large flywheel.

It'd be interesting to compare the power now to what it was rated at as a diesel but I suspect it will be a lot lower.
