Is This Part of an Outboard Motor? 2 Weeks of Google Image Frustration Inside

I don’t know?

Looks like some sort of pump mechanism.

Certainly not an outboard motor that I’ve ever seen nor heard of.

It might be a regulator from an old air compressor.
That brass valve might be a Pilot valve.
Just a thought.

looks like a single piston diaphram pump. Not a high volume pump either. Probably for moving bulk fluids. NOT for one of our submarines though.

I think it is a signaling device, Not sure what it is porting without circuits shown. It is missing a few parts I believe too.

I’m thinking a pressure or flow regulator; looks like a diaphragm between the two cast iron pieces, the slight movement of the diaphragm armature operates against the toe of the boot; boot movement is regulated by the tension spring, which is adjusted at the firm end. ❓

Looks like version 1.0 of the "Flux Capacitor". Or maybe the very rare "Clevis Pin for the Clatterhorn"?? I don’t think it’s a "Kuneutter Valve" either….
Maybe someone can verify the Flux Capacitor? Garry? You’ve been around as long as anyone I know! Got anything ideas??

Possibly an unloader valve from an old, large compressor.
