Identification of Gen-set needed

[guy labbe]

I have few of these , 2 BSA ones and presumably post war and two war time Canadian chore horses .
There is one of the chore horses at a friend his place that I need to pick up.

The actual design is pre-war so purchased basically off the shelf.

Makes you wonder what agreement BSA had with Johnsons to manufacture.

I have a UK built Chore Horse (going by the BSF and BA fixings).
Can anyone tell me the manufacturer? The identification plate has the logo "LsE".
I am in the process of stripping it down and found the petrol tank full of a rusty fibrous material. I realised after a while that a previous owner had made the engine block/petrol tank gasket without removing the middle. This had collapsed and was returning to its maker.

You may find the gasket was original; I had the same problem back in the 1970s with one straight out of MoD stores.

One warning: the gasket is asbestos, so bag it up safely and dispose of it properly.
