I’m pretty sure it was built by McCulloch (chain saws) and labeled Elgin for sale by Sears stores. Some models also came with Tillotson carbs.

Scott McCulloch made about late 50’s early 60’s

I can see the data plate hiding behind the front carrying handle. Give us the numbers and we can be more specific.

I have some information on a 1960 Scott/McCulloch 12hp outboard with regards to the Carter carburetor. Sears sold Elgin motors made by Scott/McCulloch during late 1950’s to 1960s.

Better information and guidance can be given if you take a picture and post on the forum of the Model/serial plate on the carry handle/

Cheers,

These motors were built by the McCulloch Corporation but since McCulloch had bought out Scott-Atwater in 1956 and retained the Scott name, it can get a bit confusing. McCulloch dropped the Scott and Scott-McCulloch brands in ’63, Firestone in ’59, Wizard in ’64, and both the McCulloch and Elgin lines in ’67 when they went bust.

Here’s a PDF with some info on your motor.
