[SEL] New Iron Find

[Rupert Wenig]

Thanks John. Francis sent a picture of a 7hp. My curiosity was stemmed 
by the fact I have a 1 1/2 HP Z with spoke flywheels. My memory might be 
failing but I don't recall seeing a picture of one anywhere. Serial # 
stamped into the engine I have is C26522. I can see similarities but the 
engines are different.
