The ignitions is ok, there is no regulator. When the rpm is too high, the inlet valve says closed. Than the rpm lowers, when the rpm is too low, the inlet valve opens again, and the engine takes its mixture of petrol and air and burns. It's named hit and miss.
@stengine AFAIR hit&miss engines leave the outlet valve open during coasting cycles and no gas air mixture comes through the inlet valve. The inlet valve is in this a simple spring loaded valve and not actively operated.
There are different types of hit@miss. The Benz leaves the inlet valve not operated, when the rpm is too high. The oulet valve opens and closes every 2 cycles (4-stroke).
These were made by L. Benz & spol., Třebíč, Moravia (now part of the Czech Republic). From the pictures of similar engines I've seen it looks like they have a downdraft carburetor which sits almost right on top of the cylinder head. Most have a low-tension ignitor for ignition.

I think its facing severe ignition lag or piston valve synchronization lag. That's why it is making noncontinuous sounds.
Anyways it should be admired that this engine is still running today. Great engine and great video.

Is that background music or the engine itself? Cool :)

It's the engine itself. It's running very quiet and hit and miss.

One of the sweetest sounding engines I've heard here on YT.
The original finishes, the carriage, all add to the beauty.
Would enjoy a walk-around of the engine when you have time.
I'll subscribe to keep up with your additions.
Thanks from Miami, Fl.
