This engine is rather unusual: Headless and Hit & Miss. Only made the 1 1/2 hp headless hit & miss governing for two years- 1915 & 1916. There are not many of these early model Z’s still around. This year this engine is 100 years old! Can you believe it? So, what you see is what you get- engine AND Cart! The cart is in great shape and much newer than the engine, but I have no idea how new it is. The engine has great compression and is mechanically in great shape- it still has its original magneto! It his a new reproduction muffler. The only parts that I know of that need replacing are the grease cup (missing on the connecting rod) and fuel tank (it’s there but rusted out). The igniter (unique to this model) seems to be in good shape and trip as it should. The magneto will need to have its magnets recharged. All in all, this engine is well on its way to being restored. With a little more time and tinkering this should make an awesome running engine! The item “Fairbanks Morse 1 1/2 Headless Hit & Miss” is in sale since Saturday, June 25, 2016.
