Hi Bob nice engine but please with all due respect do put some information about the engine like date manufactured Horse Power and any other details!!!!

It says "3hp" in the title.
@johnhili8664Ай бұрын
As a stationary engine collector myself simple 3HP is not enough, date of manufacture if possible were it came from and its working life. I do keep a log sheet for every engine I have with all the information for posterity!!!

Hi Bob thanks for the information I thought it was an American engine as from the design it looks so especially with the starting handle in the flywheel:-))
@johnhili86642 ай бұрын
Nice engine works very well, from the sound it looks like a hit and miss governor? Is it British or American?
@mileybobАй бұрын
Its throttle governed, but is only firing every few times as its governed nice & slow. ITs a British engine, made in Wales.

Wait is it normal for it to do that arythmic choked sound? I'm not an expert in thingamajigs, doodads and gizmos but if I were to guess an engine should make a smoother uniform sound

I don’t know what kind of pulley was on it , but I had thought during the video a nice 6” diameter / 6” wide pulley might look nice on there potentialy a little safer too unsure of that definitely. Nicely bent pipe work on there 👍🏻

And all we have done in the 103 years since this was built is to make engines more inefficient, right up to the point that some gobshite thought EV was the way to go...I do despair.
@Buzzard-wq1bw4 ай бұрын
I’m sure you know there are various way that the fuel efficiency of the internal combustion engines could be improved, the change to EVs is solely due to political lobbying and has no real benefits and several rather extreme downsides. Burning hydrocarbons directly is and always will be the most efficient and effective means of power for automobiles.

Nice! I like the curve-spoke flywheels. The equivalent Gardner gas-engines of the turn of the century used curved spokes to try and stop shrink-cracking, but seem to have adopted straight spokes by 1916. Would this suggest the engine design is earlier than that?
