All those yuppies out there go ahead and poke fun at us hillbillies and rednecks who "play" with these old engines and such. When this country collapses because of the crappy goverment we'll be the ones laughing. We'll be bringing this old iron out and using it to power our houses and take care of things.
In my job,i've seen things that would be considered strange to most of the posters. I don't understand why the attack on the OP for thinking this engine is strange.If it's strange to you,then it's strange.
Not everyone spends their time tinkering with old engines.
I don't know much about vintage engines like these. However, I have always loved them. I think what really gets me is the massive flywheels. You can almost feel the torque they put out.
well it seems a strange engine to people who haven't seen anything like it ...like me....still , i now know what it is thanks to comments ...i still think it's fun to watch ...why would they exhibit it if not?
a hit and miss is an engine that only fires a spark when it slows down past the governed speed while it is not firing the exhaust valve is held open to keep the engine from slowing down, when it slows down the valve closes and it is like any old 4 stroke engine.
well i haven't seen one like it ..but i guess i;m not into that subject much...maybe they're really common ..i don't know i reckon there are some who haven't seen one... it's for them really...thanks for saying what it is tho...

I wonder if the owner of this beast kept an equally historical blowlamp that was used to start it

it is a hit and miss governed engine
a hit and miss is an engine that only fires a spark when it slows down past the governed speed while it is not firing the exhaust valve is held open to keep the engine from slowing down, when it slows down the valve closes and it is like any old 4 stroke engine.
at slow idel a hit and miss is a 8 stroke engine
