Well played around a little with this engine today and Now at least its running. I am sure it will run better with the piston turned around the correct way and the ignition timer stabilized as well as a consistent fuel source and a cooling pump that has check valves. It can only get better from here. Sorry the video clip is so short..........no room on the clip!

Very nice! Seems like it was running half decent. Any updates?

Well, No...actually I set it aside, I know it will run so I want to build a decent copper tank for fuel and h2o, and a set of skids. I also want to snug up on the flywheel and turn the piston around, so its probably a tear every bolt off it and start from scratch situation. When I am done it will run nicely I am sure, I could not get the rpm down where I like it and I think the piston orientation is the likely culprit. I will repost when I get it started. If anybody recognizes it as to being built by a particular manufacturer, please let me know, if not I am going to assume its a blacksmith shop engine, or maybe a school or shop project.
