Rotoettes came with two different engines, either a Briggs & Stratton NP or a T - both 1.5 horsepower. They were made in Troy, New York ca. 1948 - so perhaps the first "Troy built?." Ignition points are behind the flywheel and are set at .020" For spark plugs, the engines used either a J8 with 14mm head, or a D14 with the 18 mm head.

CJ6 also works, so will a J8J, etc. You can get parts for the carb.
