As I once read from an old dude that used to work at a shop that serviced O&Rs- "Anytime an O&R came in to the shop for repair, everybody would disappear!"
These little suckers can be very frustrating to work on. I can attest to banging my head on the wall a few times, and I bet Wallfish would say the same!
I purchased this genset off of a guy that claimed he had an NOS O&R generator and did not have the capability of taking and sending photos. I figured I'd take a chance and thought that it may be a real oddball that I may not have. Well, I received it today and it sure was new in the box, but it was no O&R. Either way, it's pretty cool and a tiny 1.1 hp engine that I've never heard of. After doing some research, I believe that it may be related to a Subaru. Just another variation of a Japanese O&R knockoff.
Most likely something from your side of the pond. You guys tend to find stuff that we do not have in the states. Unfortunately, it does not look familiar to me. A better picture from the output side would definitely help.
We don't really have any scientific information to identify engines and it would take a lot of work to break them down. Up to this point, I do not know of anybody willing to take on the task. As for output, I just don't think there is much of a measurable difference in any of the hp ratings. Wallfish?
Not to discourage you, but I'd be a little leery about putting one of these in to regular use. These things are just not reliable to depend on firing up each day and running smoothly on a regular basis. The parts availability is just not there and the tend to be a little troublesome from the start.
