Good running engine, has a VERY HOT, original magneto. Engine starts with the flick of the flywheels on a rotary style magneto that has no impulse, which indicates how good the magneto is and how well the engine is tuned. These engines normally have to be started with a crank, hand-turned up to speed, which isn’t all that fun, or safe. Engine has Very Good compression, and spins very smoothly – the flywheels will bounce back and forth 5 or more times after it stops from the compression. Rarely Seen with ORIGINAL Fairbanks Morse TYPE RV Magneto & wire, specially in this condition. Exhaust is not original but sounds pretty good actually…. I sprayed it down with WD-40 to clean off dust, cobwebs and to be able to look them over. It won’t be all wet & shiney when they arrive. Please watch video below of the engine being started cold. It is being started with the starting chamber on the left – this was used back in the day to start on gasoline and then turn on the main needle to the fuel tank to run kerosene after the engine was warmed up. That was because Kerosene used to be cheaper then Gasoline, now its quite the opposite! Now days the starting chamber is rarely used. Notice how easy it starts, and how it runs – keep in mind its not warm (35 degrees outside) and will run better, and also the smoke will clear up, when warm. VIDEO —> Engine smoking from it sitting tilted forward, or I put too much oil in it & cold. Fairbanks Morse ZC 3 HP – Cold Start On Starting Chamber – YouTube. THEY WILL CALL YOU UPON ARRIVAL.
