Root & Vandervoort 1 HP Hit and Miss Engine – This is a rather desirable, rare engine in the small 1 HP with skeleton base. Not positive on the year it was made. I believe it was the early teens, and Not positive what model it is, possibly AR. If you have any information that you would like to share send me a message. I have only just looked over the engine for a few minutes, I will tell you what I know. After looking it over it has a somewhat fresh coat of paint on it(last few years). It seemed timed well enough and in order enough to give it a test start. It did start right up and seemed like it would run, but I only ran it for a few moments. It needs some adjustments and It will need new babbit bearings, as there is no shims left. The crank has pitting on it and it has ok to medium low compression, enough to run. I believe it will also need other various work to make this engine in good running condition, possibly rings or valve work or bushings. It may not need much. I think in the right hands this could end up being a very nice collector piece. Seems to be all complete except for the exhaust pipe. I think it will need some new springs they do not seem right. Has a Good Oiler, Good Fuel tank and Pulley. No Cracks or Breaks or Welds that I can see anywhere! This model has flywheels & gas tank that hang below the base. I will be listing more Engines & Parts in the next couple weeks, you may want to add me to your favorite sellers! ALL YOU HAVE TO DO AFTER YOU PAY IS GO PICK IT UP WHEN IT ARRIVES. THEY WILL CALL YOU. I WILL SHRINK WRAP THEM SO NO PARTS CAN COME LOOSE. I WILL SECURE IT TO A PALLET AND BUILD A CUSTOM CRATE AROUND THE ENGINE SO IT WILL ARRIVE SAFE. IT WILL ALSO BE INSURED FOR GOOD MEASURE. The item “Root & Vandervoort 1 HP Hit and Miss Gas Flywheel Engine Nice Rare” is in sale since Wednesday, October 18, 2017.
