"Radio Flyer" engine ID

[Clint Ormosen]

Here's a few screenshots from the movie "Radio Flyer". The kids in the film kept referring to these as Cox motors, but I'm quite sure they're not. Can anyone identify them?
K&B Sportster 45 maybe?

From the webbing on the case looks more modern than old. just my 2 pence worth.

The engine is a K&B Sportster, I can see a 6 on the prop for the pitch. I never saw the movie so without a reference to the size of the object I can't comment on its displacement.

  Radio Flyer is a Tom Hanks movie. It's a neat but sad movie about two small brothers growing up in the early 60's, and one brother is the victim of child abuse. I won't say more than that to give too much away, but I believe it is a great movie, very well done on an important subject. If you grew up in the 60's you will like it, and there is a sort of aviation theme. I don't remember seeing it advertised, and then caught it on cable olate one night, then managed to find a copy of it on VHS. I can whole heartedly recommend it.
   And I always thought they (there are two of them on the vehicle) were K&B Sportsters of some displacement.
  Type at you later,

Have no idea but the needle and carb looks OS, didn't K&B use Perry carbs or maybe that was later..

Definitely a K&B Sportster.. I have a .65 model 91 (the bad one intended for target practice). But the carb is not K&B, or at least not the common one. Mine is all ribbed.

Wonderful movie!  Not a "feel good" movie, but one that calls attention to a real problem, and handles it tactfully - assuming you can use your imagination to fill in the blanks.  Much of the dialogue is incredibly meaningful.

I played the beginning over and over again to capture this dialogue accurately -

 “History is all in the mind of the teller.  Truth is all in the telling.”  - A father (played by Tom Hanks) to his 2 sons, who are arguing (over a model airplane) in the movie “Radio Flyer”

Definitely one of my top 10 because of its message.  If you don't want to bust a child abuser in the chops after seeing this one - especially when you grasp what the real "ending" is - you have ice cold blood in your veins.
