a Porsche powered ski lift mechanism


how this is identified as a Porsche and not a VW is something I don't know, but Dennis knew to look for the generator, oil fill, fuel pump, Zenith carb and Bosch mag, all Porsche items. The clincher is the side view which show the much bigger Porsche heads (I can't see that, but I don't know what to look for in the below image to find the heads). I had a feeling the magneto was the tell tale

  2. I believe this is a Porsche Industrial engine. The generator, oil fill, fuel pump, Zenith carb and Bosch mag are Porsche items. The clincher is the side view which show the much bigger Porsche heads

    1. Well, wow, thank you for the verification, and visual cues to look for! How in the world did you get to be this familiar with Porsche engines... and thank you again!
