A newly made Associated Hired Man Engine. Relisted after replacing a faulty cylinder casting, all is good and runs great. This engine is 1/3 scale, with a solid state ignition that is contained in the base, it is powered by 4 AA batteries. This engine is made of cast iron no aluminum anywhere, the crankshaft is high carbon steel for long life, the piston is 1 1/4 in diameter and is also cast iron lapped to the cylinder for a close fit, it has 1 compression ring. All bearings are made from bearing bronze and lubricated via brass grease cups. The valves are Stainless steel as is the gas tank. The tank has an integral check valve. The muffler and fully operational cylinder lubricator are brass. The base is solid black walnut with a satin finish. The spark plug is a 1/4 – 20 plug readily available. EVERYONE ELSE PLEASE ASK FOR QUOTE. This engine will run on regular gasoline but white gas (Coleman camp fuel) is recommended for its easy starting clean burning and low odor. I will include starting and running and lubrication instructions. The flywheels are 6 1/4 in in diameter The base is 12 3/4 x 8 x 2 5/8 inches. The complete engine weighs 20 pounds. This is a very easy starting engine, usually 2 flips of a flywheel has it running. I have been building these engines for over 20 years and this engine displays that level of machine experience.
