Unrestored 7 HP Nelson Brothers stationary flywheel gas engine. Mounted on iron frame and wheels. Other than missing name plate, it appears complete. Turns over and gets compression. The original Wico magneto needs its magnets recharged, at least so from what I was reading about them the magnets pull freely from the coils. The cooling jacket on the underside of the cylinder has a crack, probably a freeze fracture see attached photo. From the appearance of the cylinder bore and piston (both oily and not rusted), it would seem unlikely that the cylinder wall is cracked also. While turning it over I noticed that a tooth on one of the gears is chipped see attached photo. It doesn’t seem to prevent proper mesh of the gears. The belt pulley has rust holes see attached photo. The prefixes on the embossed part numbers are “F” and “FA”. The engine base, cylinder, cooling hopper and moving parts don’t show extensive rust pitting and should clean up nicely. The rims of the flywheels do show some pitting, not the sides or spokes, but the rims. Looks like the engine will need a new gas tank also.
