I picked up my new Waterman today, it's an early one, #152. It seems to be complete and original, smaller flywheel than my 2 cylinders, carb has an oiler mounted directly on it.

Hi J.B.,
I don't know if this applies or not, but add it to your files if the engine is tagged as such:

Waterman Marine Motor Company produced the first commercially successful outboard motors. The company was located at 1506-1512 Fort W. in Detroit, Wayne County, Michigan. The company was incorporated on November 5, 1906 with a capital of $40,000. Cameron B. Waterman, the inventor and developer, served as president. Harvey Miller was the vice-president and treasurer and L. K. Butler was the secretary.

The company also built inboard powered canoes.

Waterman [Marine?] Motor Company filed notice of its dissolution on March 29, 1918.

Scott

Thanks, always good to get your info here , my notes say that waterman sold to Arrow Engine works of Detroit in 1916 and inturn Arrow sold to Pausin Engineering in Newark New Jersey in 1917, the new Company sold under new name of Arrow Motor and Machine Company. I'm guessing that the sale to Arrow involved only the inboards and the eventual closing of Waterman in 1918 was the last of the Porto outboards ?

Not sure when Waterman started mfging the inboards,the model B's had solid flywheels,singles,twins and multi's.
The model K was the lighter high speed eng and had 4 large holed flywheel.

This January 1910 ad is the earliest reference I can find so far as to the model K, it says that the eng was famous by then ? so 1909 and probably earlier by a year or two is its origin ???

Wspcanoe10

That aluminum carburetor on J.B.'s engine is interesting does anyone have any info on it ?

Looks as if it has not been abused - a good find!
The copper jacket engines I am familiar with usually have a Kingston 4 ball carb directly mounted to a pipe threaded into the case. This one has a union, which looks to have been with the engne a long time.

Scott, thanks for the info. Richard, thanks for posting the pics. Roger, I'm going to fix the cracked flywheel, clean it up and run it for a while. It's a nice original motor, copper jacket has only a few minor dents, great compression and the bearings seem tight. I may decide to restore it later, any opinions, restore or leave as is? We purchased a collection, included a Victor, looks like an Acadia, make and break, has teardrops in the flywheel instead of hearts. Two Caille 4hp, one together, one in parts. Enough parts to do 3 4hp Nadler-Lockwood Ash engines, and most of a 6hp Ferro in parts. Some of these will have to be built and sold to recoop the purchase expense. The Ferro looks like a nice motor, the external parts of the oiling system are missing as well as the Ferro carb. It has the timer with a gear quadrant on it , nothing to mate with it, water pump and strap were with it.. I'll be looking for pics when this one hits the bench.

Miro, what looks like a union is a hex cast onto the carb, a close nipple attaches it to the motor. The little brass throttle lever is wide open when resting on the carb, raising it throttles it down. The round section above the bowl extends equally into the bowl, air is ducted down over the fuel and back up, only a small hole below the needle to allow fuel into the airway. Seems to be the same principle as the Krice. No name or numbers obvious on the carb. The attached oiler makes it look like it would belong on a 2 cycle.

Nice looking engine, unique carb. With the drip oiler it must be an early engine, do you have the serial number?

Most of the drip oilers on the intake were on the way out by 1910 - 1912. When running this engine use the oiler for show, mix oil with gas for lube. This engine has the wider flywheel like my 2 cylinder, I don't know when they changed. My water pump has two inlets with a check valve on each, anyone know the reason for this, is your's the same?

Brent, the spark comes from a Model T style buzz coil that is connected via the timer to an external battery. It fires the cylinder on the make of the contact points, not the break.

Brent, Check that flywheel carefully before trying to run as I think it is from a Stover agricultural engine. A CT-2 possibly? The original may have been damaged at some point. There is a balance weight in stover flywheels for the farm engine that may throw your engine off.

Off the top of my head I would say look in the dippy book. However I doubt that there internal specs for any of these old goodies anywhere
Was that yours with the yellow flywheel at Calvert?
Hope this helps

dismantled my K2 over the weekend and discovered what took it out of service. I need the alloy bevel gear that goes on the timer shaft. My gear does not have a single tooth left on it. Does anyone have one or know someone that can make one?

I found bevel gears to help me at http://qtcgears.com/
under Miter Gears.
A little machining on a friend's lathe gave me
what I needed for my Auto Marine engine at a very modest cost. wayne
P.S. I was on 'back order' for a couple of weeks.
