: The throttle operated only the carburetor butterfly and nothing else (perfect for a racing set up) and the ignition timing advanced via a centrifugal component under the flywheel independently!!! : They shared the same rods,pistons as the 7.5 HP/ 7.5 cid air cooled single cylinder Techumseh that was rated as high as 7500 RPMs operating range!!!! The 15 was just as capable and had a super strong-solid crank. Eska, Wizard, Ted Williams, GameFisher, and were made in the 1970s to 80s and were exactly 15 cubic inches. : These were made by Techumseh engines and were available in 9.9 and 15 HP. Here are the specs and facts about this overlooked yet somewhat amazing little fishing motor. Sure would like to see what you guys think of the idea. I am considering doing a project in the future, as to adapt a hotrod lower unit to one of these. I remember when I worked on a couple of these a long time ago, that my friend and former racer, John Renfro told me that those motors would have made a real good "A" stock engine. The thing is, this reminded me of the way the engine was made. I got rid of the motor and kept the carburator. The parts were a bit high in price so I put it to the wayside. I once had this motor until the ignition went bad. I was cleaning up my old motor parts box today and came across an old 15 hp Eska (Ted Williams) carburetor I kept.
