This engine has been restored, with a quick brush on paint job, I can tell for sure, there is a lot of original paint under the red paint job. It is mounted on a nice set of skids. The engine is all complete including the original muffler and pulley, and correct brass “tea pot” carburetor. The only weld I can find on the engine is on the fuel pump plunger arm, (see picture where weld is circled). Compression is very good, and the engine is one of the easiest starting you could hope to ask for. Both flywheels have the Ideal name cast into them. These early ignitor fired Ideals, are very few and far between. It has the original brass nameplate. Good hitting, long coasting engine, that you definitely don’t see every day! Fuel pump works great, gets the gas right up to the carburetor with no trouble. If your looking for a hard to find engine to add to your collection, here it is, just needs a new home and a show to take it to. Comes with the starting crank you see me using in the video.
