Nice video sir, but please don't rip on the HP output. This engine still made 415 lb/ft of torque. 125 years ago... Old working engines like this, or even modern semis use torque to do their work. They only had as much HP as they needed, but high torque and low revs create reliability and limited wear on parts. Big power means higher revs... which means increased fuel, increased wear, increased pressures, higher tolerances, higher demand on metallurgy, higher demand for cooling etc. This power plant is absolutely rock-solid.

Great work, thanks for the quality video without any BS, little master class on how to do things, I had little doubt the old beast would live again after watching you work on it for the first 5 mins, new sub and cheers from the PNW! I'd love to know how efficient these are (hp/gph) for something like turning a dyno or some such :) just curious. Love old motors! My dad told me stories about hearing boats with hit-and-miss engines (Eastholps (sic) mostly) and he and his dad could tell who was coming and if they were loaded or not, Seymore Inlet area. That is a wonderful job. hope it gets put to work :)

Without wishing to be rude, doing that without hearing protection is just beyond stupid. In this case bravado in youth may well lead to deafness in middle age and beyond. If nothing else, the older guy here should have his butt kicked, as he should certainly know better. I did many reckless things in my youth, some of it in spite of advice from those who knew better - now I'm older I'm paying for some of it...

Excellent work, so good to see these old engines brought back to working condition. They are a tangible part of our industrial heritage.

Considering the age of the engine great care should have been taken to preserve the condition of the machine. Unfortunately it will show that somebody hacked in to it.

with present day copy design programs,3d printing etc scrap pistons from diesel loader , piece of a head valve assembly , etc and large flywheels , steel from scrap yard these can be reproduced , only tricky part is mag which may be able to be replaced with electronic ignition and a crank sensor

There is a difference between a monkey wrench and pipe wrench. You should have used a monkey wrench on that shaft nut if you didn't have a proper wrench in the right size. You don't see monkey wrenches made anymore -- basically the "Crescent" (adjustable end wrench) has taken its place -- but the monkey wrench still has certain niche uses where there is not clearance for a "Crescent" wrench.

Nice work... but a very good sandblasting and a coat of paint would complete your work as you have the entire piece disabled.

You never mentioned anything about gas/fuel mixture. Surely that's important and may have been incorrect. Despite eventually running, it still didn't sound right.
@thedolphin54285 күн бұрын
I just watched a guy pretend for 30 mins (actually 3 days and nights) that he knew what he was talkin' about but who obviously didn't. Are all Texans like that? If any engine takes that much fruitless effort to f**k about with it's time to learn to do if from someone who actually knows.

I love to see the old technology engines. making them run after someone else has done things to it can be time consuming and frustrating. You can't go to a hardware store and buy Original parts. Plus over 100 years ,things get updated changed out and left to rust. when they run finally I smile and look to see what's next. have a nice day

Well that took me back over 60 years to when I had a .75cc model aircraft engine with a "glow plug" ignition, same as your hot tube but very very tiny and may be did not need preheating. Easier to start than a diesel because of lower compression ratio, softer on the finger!

Question many years back I worked at a shop that rebuilt engines . We had a gas stove that once I had torn the engine down and had the block and heads in the cleaning tank . The owner ( Cap) would put the piston rods on top of the fire . Why was that done? Retired and try and Tinker with things and now just love trying to understand. Thank you for your time and have a blessed day.
