Wondering what's the consumption of it as a generator compared to other newer 4stroke 1Bangers,no idea about the displacement and fuel/air ratio but i'd say it'll be pretty good as it has plenty of power at very low rpm,while the others are highly revving and due to lower displacement they probably have less torque,but i really have no idea about the hit n miss stuff.
@truebassB Well, its a perfectly functioning novelty. Never been worried about it's gas consumption because I just use it for fun. It's a torque monster! Hope you enjoyed the video and than you for the comment!
Im looking at a idea to power a car with a big mower engine (18 hp ) with a larger flywheel. Im guessing it will run the same. Using the tork from the Flywheel.
@orangecustom I restored this a few years back, and if memory serves correct, it is Hunter Green. I could be wrong. I had scraped some old paint off of the engine that was covered with grease and just matched it up at my local auto parts store. Maybe you can find a bit of remaining paint on your engine. Good luck!
@orangecustom Thank you! You'll enjoy your Stover open crank, those are fun to watch running. I'd love to see a video of it when you do have it going!
@rich6955 Hello Rich, No, I don't think I will put casters on the bottom because it already tries to walk off! It's very very heavy and I move it around with a hand truck (dolly). Thank you for saying masterful job, I put in many hours to restore it from the pile of rust when I got it. It's really a treasure for me.
This is the best video I've seen in the past 2 years. How you kept your promise and restored the engine and trucked it over to the hospice center for the gentleman to see it is heart warming. I like how you hooked it up to the generator and made a guage panel, I got a kick out of how you were powering tools and appliances with it. A+++
One question. I used to read a comic strip named "Smokey Stover" as a kid. Do you think they named the character after the Stover Engine??
@Lockemeister Thank you for the complement! I have never heard of the Smokey Stover, but it sounds like something I'd like!! I'm really happy that you enjoyed the video of my Stover. Have a great one!
Nice little motor and rebuild job too.
