About a year ago I asked JB if he had any projects and he said let me think about it. Well those fertile minds in south La went to work and got a little help from someone In Pa. Next thing I knew I was staring at the engine in the first picture. It was the front cylinder of a original 3 cylinder Tuttle engine. All that was missing a was the crankshaft, exhaust manifold and 3 carburetors. The 2 xtra cylinders arrived from Pa.(thanks again Keith) Since 90 degree primer cups are hard to find around Roscoe I decided to make them also. Getting the carbs machined required lots of extra fixturing and were the toughest project. Engine runes quite well but does not idle as well as it should since all 3 cylinders must get the same fuel /air mix. Winter lasted till this last
So now you guys know about bait engines becareful!
July.

In an earlier post today I used the words art and
sculpture to describe the work that only a very few have the abilities to create.
Free Masonry's biblical heritage began with men that started the arts & sciences of building things with the materials of the earth, among them was "Tubal Cain" The first Smithy and inventor of the forge, in Masonic teachings he was considered the Greatest Artificer of brass and iron, I mention this to say that its very possible that one of his descendents Lives today in a small town on the Rock River in Illinois.
Known on this site as "raa" or Dick Alcock to many of us, his work is truly outstanding, his transformation of metal seems unreal at times and
I only view his art work with my humble hat pulled low. How fortunate we are to know him and his work !
Keep the photos coming Thanks Dick.

I was hoping you would post this project Dick, it's one of the best restorations I've seen. The attention to detail is unbelievable.

JB

Back in our sailing days we had what I called our 100' boat-- it looked good at 100' same applies to this engine.

Bob Ligeon's are the gold standard by a long way.

Dick, I've heard "it looks good from far, but it's far from good". Certainly doesn't apply here.

I always like three cylinders, they are so different than most other engines. They are a lot harder to find now, good thing I picked up a few a decade or so ago.

Well Done Richard!!

Dick, Stunning!! Please talk about the dome caps on the carb intakes; how they are held in place an the choke function; the purpose of the 4 cast tabs on the underside of the domed caps. Also the function of the small hole drilled into the top of the domed caps....

The caps are held in place with a 6-32 rd head screw. I just duplicated the hole in the cap since the original carb on my Tuttle launch had one.The original Tuttle was a casting with 4 cast tabs which I and my pattern making friends thought was near impossible to get cast today. I made mine using brass bar stock and a bunch of risky milling and a guess on free area for air passage.There is no choke just a float tickler. My Launch is started by pressing the tickler to get extra fuel for starting

The two cylinder I sent you must have stayed a two cylinder. Do you have pics of that engine to post?
