Does anyone know what engine this is

Atwood Champion with the spoked head.

Bill,

Thanks for the info,  David smith has the engine from family friend, have entire ign setup, coils, battery , etc, even extra.  Piston cyl, head and flywheel , he also has extra backplate, that has no intake,

I guess it was some type of 2  speed  setup

Some features look somewhat like Atwood, but not a "Champion".  This one would be much earlier.

Don't try to run it without plugging the unused crankshaft intake

Thanks for the help and good advice, I will plug the lower venturi, without damaging the case, compression is very good, , engine will be checked out , , plan is  to bench run only right now, just enough to get a video back to he original owner, .

If we cannot get the ignition to function  properly , what would be a recommendation  to get  engine running  on glow fuel , or  is it not capable  of handling the glow fuel.

It looks much like an 1940 Atwood Blue Crown Champion 60, the father of the Atwood Champions.  It was a race car or marine engine.  I wouldn't run it and I sure wouldn't run it on glow.  There aren't many of these around

If you run it, why not run it on both carbs. as was originally intended?
