sorry tom, i should have been more accurate with the time, its 8:53 of the vid, the crankshaft is in the gearcase and spins the prop!?

She sure is a strange one. I think I heard Lambeau, He had one on a stand and and the one he carries to the bench, he said a 650XS I think. Or are you talking about the one after the Lauson? Where the crank is the prop shaft, too. And no carb. The ones before and after the Lauson are "different". :smile:

the one that has the crankshaft where the gears would normally be, i think he said it has a carb, just no float bowl?

It's a "Clark Troller"
Kinda unique but not very dependable from what I've read.

Yup, a Clarke Troller.I think there was a company making a 1/2 size reproduction some years ago.
