Being auctioned is a neat, well-made & easy to run gas engine. This engine is sand cast from fine-grain ductile iron & has a lot of detail to the castings. It was recently machined using steel, brass, bronze & iron parts & was designed to look & be built like something that could have been made years ago. Its unpainted & has a natural finish thats easy to care for. This engine is simple to start & run & it cant get out of time. The ignition timing can be changed by advancing or retarding the timer lever (located behind the flywheel). The fuel mixture is adjusted by moving the choke lever. The engine draws vapor from a wick-fed Mason jar fuel tank & runs on regular gasoline, (Coleman lantern fuel will work fine). Something neat about this engine is that it can run in each direction as either a hit & miss engine, or by locking a screw on the governor it can run as a throttler engine. The speed is then controlled by moving the ignition lever or choke handle. (See video of this engine below). The engine itself stands 10 tall (from the bottom of its skids to the top of its flywheel) & weighs about 7-1/2 lbs. It runs good & has great compression. The engine comes with a sanded & sealed white pine storage & display box. The box is 9 x 10-3/4 & 4-1/8 tall & can safely hold & store the engine & fuel tank. The engine comes with a new RMC solid-state ignition buzz coil. This coil can be used on most any engine & was specially made to be UV & water resistant. The coil connects & disconnects quickly & easily from the engine & battery. It comes fully assembled & ready to run; all you need is some gasoline & a 12 volt battery. Any good 12 volt battery will run the engine. It also comes with an owners manual with notes about the engine & how to run it. The engine, fuel tank, wood box & coil weigh about 13-1/2 lbs. The engine can be seen at the address below. It can be picked up if wanted.
