Not that I can find much information about it, other than its U22 old-timer.
Its been put away for the time being, as I have other things on the go at the moment.
All I know is the basics, 15 HP 2800/3200 rpm and 345 cc, it came as no surprise it is 45kg, especially after I lifted it out of my boot, its also got a hell of a lot of compression.

I cannot see a number or vin plate and its not got Electrolux on the flywheel, so no clue on the date of it, suspect its maybe late 60's.

Unmolested

Sometimes they are very hard to date even with numbers............

That's a very clean looking motor Keith & still got it's spark plug covers, now you've got to find a boat big enough to carry it, perhaps you better ask those Aussies who built that nice Murry river boat for a copy of their drawings.
Remote pumped fuel or gravity?

I may say Gravity fuel Charles.

The bracket on it would hold the tank. Not that I have seen one like it. Nice adaption for something however.............

Reed valves & a fuel pump?
It's not a looper is it Keith?
This is a 8-12 litres an hour at WOT motor

I couldn't answer question Charles, I will have to have a look down a plug hole and see what shape the top of the piston is.
It has a fuel pump next to the carb, for an auxiliary tank.

Pump..........how cool is that then!

The bracket is obviously for the ESKY then. Top idea!

It may be a nice looking outboard but I'm shocked at the amount of weeds on the pathway .
Can't abide untidiness.
Drives me to drink.
