Here is a 1992 completed model hit and miss engine model FM/7 by 7 Mountains Model Shop of a Fairbanks Morse 25hp stationary engine. This engine is in very good condition, nice and clean. A few nicks in the paint here and there. Runs slick as a whistle! We only ran it for a couple minutes but everything was oiled up good before starting. It was fairly easy to get running, only had to clean the contact on the side of the engine for the ignition. Please take the time to watch the video, if you’re like me you’ll watch it over and over. Engine measures 16″ long not counting the water tank, flywheels are 10″ in diameter, and it weighs roughly 55 lbs as mounted.

(you can run it on gasoline as well) These 1hp Titan JR engines are incredibly hard to find, and when you do they are usually worn out or in bad shape. This one is neither of those things. The only flaw with this engine is a weld on the head. They did a very nice job welding it, good quality weld, and I’m a welder so I know what I’m looking at. Somebody also added a piece of steel to the top of the trip rod, I think just for extra weight, it would be very easy to take that top piece off, the rest of the trip is totally correct and how its supposed to be. Ignitor works great, very little wear in the shaft. This a much harder to find Titan JR compared to others due to the duel fuel (Gasoline/Kerosene) carburetor. I think they realized it was a bad idea to have such a small hit & miss engine running on Kerosene so that carburetor was short lived. The carb is in great shape, no issues. The original, two compartment gas tank is in really nice shape, NO leaks! Has both of the original filler caps on the tank yet. Comes with the good working, early style oiler that is on it. Other than the old 1970′s paint job that is flaking off, this engine is very unmolested, and unworn. Compression is very good, fires nice and strong and coasts well. This engine has zero knocks, clunks, or bad noises when it runs, the only noise you hear is when it fires and the small cam noise every revolution like all hit & miss engines make. No wrist pin hammering, piston slop, gear noise or any of those bad things. I can’t find any welds on this engine other than the head, which if you dressed that down, you would never even know it was welded. Only thing this engine is missing, is a muffler and crank shield. The magneto on these I believe was optional, this one is a battery and coil engine. If it wasn’t for the minor issue with the weld on the head, this engine would be about as good as you could hope for, out of a Titan JR. This one is very hard not to keep for my own collection, this engine will make a great rare addition to somebody’s collection. Feel free to ask questions. I can also deliver this engine to Portland, IN in May or August as well as Coolspring, PA show in June, or Baraboo, WI swap meet coming up soon. You can also pick the engine up here for no charge, we are 100 miles north of Detroit. Can store it here for 6 months as long as its paid for. 7 day listing – NO reserve!!

This engine is in very good shape mechanically and hasn’t been messed with, everything is original. Compression is very strong. Wico EK magneto has a fresh charge, and it has been gone through, virtually no wear in the armature. The engine has three minor issues. The first one, is a small chip out of the intake valve guide which doesn’t hurt a thing. The second thing is that the rocker arm has been welded. The third flaw is a chip out of the piston skirt, the engine runs great and that chip wont affect the operation in the least bit. They flipped the rod and piston over so the piston still gets good oil, nothing needs to be done as far as the operation, it will run fine, indefinitely just as it is. Flywheels run perfectly true, no wobble at all. There is no gas tank, but I will include a tank to run the engine on, which you can see in the video of it running. Has the original nameplate. It is missing the muffler, but the correct muffler on this engine is just a standard pipe cap with holes drilled in it. Has a nice working ball check oiler on it. In the pictures the throttle shaft is out of the butterfly, it must of popped out when I was moving the engine around, just needs to be dropped back in and a cotter pin added on the bottom hole, I didn’t notice it came out or I would have done that before I took pictures. This is a very good running and looking engine. Has traces of original green paint on it, this is not a rusty engine in the least bit. Skids that its on are ok, but the new owner may want to make nicer ones, but they serve the purpose. No cracks or welds on head or water jacket, only weld is on the rocker arm like I mentioned. This is a very rare size Witte to find, almost more so than the 12hp and larger Witte engines. I can also deliver this engine to Portland, IN in May or August as well as Coolspring, PA show in June, or Baraboo, WI swap meet coming up soon. You can also pick the engine up here for no charge, we are 100 miles north of Detroit. 10 day listing – NO reserve!! I was asked how the wrist pin and rod journal get lubrication if they are upside down. The grease cup is still on the rod cap its just on the bottom now, works just like it did on the top to give the bearings plenty of grease. The wrist pin gets oil cause when they switched it over they drilled a tiny hole on the top just like its supposed to have. The wrist pin gets plenty of oil. Everything in the description is correct, I just wanted to explain further. One thing I did forget to mention is the carb only has one needle valve currently, the one that runs off the gas tank. The needle valve that is supposed to be for the carb bowl is missing and somebody pipe plugged it and ground it flush I guess since they weren’t using it, if you desire to run the engine off the carb bowl you will need to drill that out and use an easy out, to remove the pipe plug. Starting it on the carb bowl is not necessary, starts fine off the gas tank using the needle valve that is on it, give it a choke and away she goes.

It is mechanically very nice, and runs perfect. The gas is probably a good 20 years old which is the only reason it smokes a little in the video. Hits nice and hard and coasts for a good long time. Has a really nice unworn, hot 2 bar brass Webster on it. Gas tank is brand new, no leaks, and no water leaks. Very good compression, flywheels run true. No cracks, breaks or welds. Speed control works just as it should, this engine is ready to work all day or just idle. Nice polished flywheel rims. This engine is totally complete including the original muffler. Oiler glass has a crack in it, but works great and doesn’t leak. This engine needs nothing but a new home and some gas and oil. Would be a really nice addition to any collection, I’ve owned it for almost 4 years, it’s a really hard one to let go. You can also pick it up here, we are 100 miles north of Detroit.

This engine was picked up from an estate sale and the exact history and what may or may not have been done to it is not known. We have had it running. Looks to be complete and pretty much original with the exception of the bell crank on the throttle shaft which was replaced with one that I made. The original one was pot metal and fell apart.
