You can get some information on the engine if you follow the leads from this page:

You may need to join the forum (it's free) to read the posts - I don't know, I'm a member so I'm automatically logged in. Incidentally it seems the Suffolk 75G14 was marketed as the Suffolk Punch or Super Punch.

Have a look at this engine, which is identical to yours (75G14 24A)

thankyou i'll give it a try

Hi Dave, what a great score....Qualcast are a very strong little machine and this looks in very good nick for its age. Plenty of meat left on the cylinder reel and also on the bedknife as well.
With a spin grind and the bedknife reground it should come up a treat!

thankyou deejay , very helpfull place the only probs with it on a closer look . its missing airfilter foam and belt is still there but not happy . allgood so far . thanks again Dave

Sold in UK as Suffolk Super Punch it was a very popular machine. I ve not found a reliable way to date but it has the metal starter but plastic rollers ( which may not be original),so I would guess 1970-71. Later models has plastic starter and from 1974 the valve chest cover attached by two screws rather than stud in the middle .
