This is a 2 1/2hp hit miss engine tagged as the acme engine company from lansing michingan. It was actually built by rawleigh schryer of freeport illinois. It turns over and has decent compression. Mechanically it is in pretty good shape but does have some issues. The head has been welded and will need to be cleaned up. A nut has been welded to the mixer for needle valve to screw into. Part of the rocker arm mount flange has broken off – i do have the piece that broke out. Governor collar and detent roller are rather pitted from rust. Biggest issue is that all the poured in place babbitt bearings have been melted out. The mains now have babbitt inserts laying in the rough cast bearing pockets and are crudely shimmed with washers. Rod is the same way but has bronze inserts. This is poorly done and proper babbitt must be poured before the engine can really be run. I did get it to pop a few times by squirting gas in the mixer but didn’t want to chance things anymore than that. I’ve not had this engine apart or been further into it other than quickly cleaning the ignitor. Yes this engine needs work but i don’t think it will be a difficult project. Look at all the photos very carefully and feel free to ask questions. Or certified cheque unless prior arrangements are made. Unusual hit miss engine. Vintage indian motorcycle parts. Let me know what you have. Engine is located in mocksville north carolina. I’ll bring it to any show i go to free of charge. I’ll bolt it to a pallet and drop off at my winston-salem store free of charge. $75 will get the engine fully enclosed in a strong crate.
