All Maytag engines are two-stroke. The engine is ignition-governed. A governor in the flywheel controls the ignition.

Where's the gas tank ?

I have a Model 82 that I restored several years ago, mine doesn't have those extensions on the fuel tank though, just a tab with an elongated hole cast on each end of the tank.

Reeeally interesting, how it works :-)

Thanks!

That is too cool! Why does it pop every few seconds? Is that the exhaust valve?

[BrownsHitnMiss]

Thanks, it pops when the engine fires. It is a hit and miss throttled by a weighted gov. When it pops, it is firing.

It's a 2-stroke engine; it has no exhaust valve.
