That is a beautiful piece of history. Just today I was looking into contacting a 92 year old fellow to see if I could buy his hit and miss garden planter.
@ZoneIII No but on this particular one the timing was advanced when I got it and it was jumping every time it fired, I was told to retard the timing by adjusting the gears back one gear tooth distance. It worked, it did not jump as much but the torque these old engines have is incredible! I run it on unleaded gas, (lowest octane) and use 10W30 detergent oil - runs great on that.
wow nice to see it running im still looking for a small hit miss all the ones ive found so far dot weigh under 5tons most are oil field engnies saw a few ajax on the side of the road the other day how ever i have found a wmb b&s and a maytag hit miss at my new job hope the owner will sell them to me there was also 2 model z B&S engines and a few 1 and 2hp b&s engines and a 1hp kohler hope he will give them or sell them all to me i would like more in my collection
I've just came into possession of a 5 hp Novo with a nameplate rpm of 525. It's used in conjunction with a 3 cyl. Bean Giant Pump and it's attendant water tank wagon. Your engine is very similar to mine and I'm looking for a bench manual to start an overhaul on it. I was told the 5 hp model is not very common.
Jim, Thanks for the post. I do have a Novo PDF manual in my possession. I will send it to you if you can give me an email address. For some reason I cannot send it through You Tube. Jack
V8, I have yet to put a load on this engine. When I got the engine it had the timing advanced, it would lift up the front skids even when I would stand on it. Needless to say I backed her off a little.

After thought!
if it's like the old Gray's marine engines?
they where a two stroke, but sililer stroke.
Then you would maybe try 14 deg. before
top dead center.

Do you have to run these old engines on leaded gas? Just curious.
