i'd say, it's a 25 horse, because of the old-style oil-filler area. and the seamed shroud - nice one...
The generator K130/6/2600/AL 15P is a 1948 to 1950 number -
The engine number duz look 2 B re stamped - and is a 1956 number, but is definitely a 25 horse - i'm gunna guess, it's a 1950... nice one... I told someone about it - he has my old 1950 11G

1531667 is August 1956.
1-0531667 is January 1953.
Upon closer inspection, I don't see the boss for the oil filler mounting bolt, so the case is 1951-55.

I think it's a 30ps 'dressed' as a 25ps!
Look at the circled areas where there seem to be 30ps cylinder head stud nuts.
If in doubt, drop a rocker cover off and look which type of head stud nuts are in that area. Ones recessed in tubes = 25ps, flush fitted ones = 30ps.

in this photo, it looks like the 3/4 cylinder tin is in fact 36hp style, I can see the bump for the 36 head studs/nuts.

So Oldmilitaria, have you had the opportunity to do this - " drop a rocker cover off and look which type of head stud nuts are in that area. Ones recessed in tubes = 25ps, flush fitted ones = 30ps." - thanks...
