Re: other junk
Hi,
Do those motors have hit or miss ignition. Saw about 4 at a show last year. The owner had them all running and it was sure neat. Every now and then one would pop as the RPMs dropped. Once the big flywheel got moving it took a while for it to slow down enough for the ignition to kick in. With a load, I bet they sound great. Al K. |

Re: other junk
Nice engines. I used to help a friend of my Dad's who had several traction engines. Gotta love old iron!

Re: other junk
I love those things! Always wanted one, but time, money and space won't allow it. There's a big one up on a mountain top near me that used to run an entire observatory on DC, back in the teens and twenties. It's still in perfect running order. When they fire it up for fun, you can feel the vibration through the bedrock.

Re: other junk
They are still used to run oil wells in some locations. I remember one in North Dakota when I was younger. You could hear it thumping away on a still summer night.

Re: other junk
I haven't had this engine out in awhile. So , I went out and took a couple of pics. I was wrong. It's a 2 HP not a 1 1/2 HP.

Re: other junk
Very neat! I've seen these engines running at various shows. Can anyone tell me how a "hit and miss" ignition works?

Re: other junk
Thanks for sharing this with us. I enjoy hearing them run. Am I correct in remembering that some engines of this type were started on gas and then switched to kerosene after it warmed up? Thanks, Tom
