"I picked up this old 2 cycle

"I picked up this old 2 cycle motor and am searching for some info. I read it was a Tecumseh powerhead though not sure of the hp. 2.5 to 5 I'm sure. I am trying to figure out what the correct mix is and cant seem to find anything on the net. I did find out some guy made them in is toolshed from 1962 to 1964 and I was able to get the thing running to my surprise. Thank for any info you guys can provide.

I actually owned one of these

I actually owned one of these - or one just like it. It was so under powered all I got out of it was smoke and noise. I ran mine on 24/1 chain saw oil. And sold it to the first collector that came along.

The impeller was very tough to set up and was always dragging on the housing.
