Curt and others,

You asked about the fuel fill on the 5 HP Hercules Kerosene engine.  The
fuel fill was located on the off side of the engine on all models and sizes
except the S & SK and the 6 and 8 HP XK & XI.  There were a few Jaegers
prior to the S model that had the hole for the off side fuel fill, but had a
bored hole in the base to switch the fuel fill to the ignition side.

Hope this clears it up or muddies it up worse.
