This is one of about 10 or so engines that I have, a work in progress, any info regarding these engines is welcome.

I've never seen one of those engines before

This one came from an auction 65miles East of me, there were two there, this one and one on a buck saw rig, this one came home with me, finally getting serious about getting it running.

That style carb was used on the Centaurs from 26-29. It's probably some variant of the model M.

Thanks for the info, think I'll probably replace the eisemann mag with a wico, probably a c series.

Very cool engine, would be neat to use in butt buggy as a repower.

There's one that shows up at Canandaigua, but it's scratch built.

I'd be interested in the Eiseman if you decide to get rid of it.

We'll see what happens, gotta find a replacement first, parts and help for eisemann mags are non existent, wico I can get parts and service for, you have first shot when the time comes.

This is what I'm thinking of using, if he reposts it I'm gonna make an offer and go from there.

When I use your link, I get a completed listing for a Wico C but the links says wico A? I found the Wico A here if this is what you are talking about. You caan use it and ground out 2 cyls. Wico A B73 HOT magneto (LU) | eBay

Is your mag stuck? Does the breaker plate look decent behind the back cap?

Not stuck, really loose actually, haven't pulled anything apart at this point.

The completed listing is what I meant to link, shows as unsold, hoping it gets relisted, won't have wires and a couple other parts till I see Lee Peterson out at Canandaigua.

Here is a manual that will be helpful if you want to try and tackle your mag. You could do that and test it before Canandaigua.

Eisemann GS Series Magneto Manual 2nd Edition Snoop around that site using the oldcroak.com. A lot of good info there.

I have the same model Leroi on a home made saw rig. It was put together by a construction company in Springfield, Mass a long time ago. This is a future project, the spark plugs have been out of it for a long time and will take some doing to get it apart, but at least I do have a parts engine. Someday!

Great looking engine and saw set-up. That's a nice bit of history to own. Looks like a lot of heavy iron in that clutch. Thanks for sharing the photos!
