Thanks for the info, I always thought it would need at least gravity pressure. I am looking for a LH Lunkenhiemer as it is a neater installation than a carb & check valve. They seem to be hard to find.
Once again that is a beautiful great running engine.

Beautiful engine! Does it create enough vacuum to suck the fuel to the mixer or is the tank filled up? It looks like the tank is below the mixer. I have one to restore just missing a mixer.

Thank you for the compliment. The engine has plenty of vacuum and will run the tank dry. I do have a check valve on the fuel line at the bottom of the tank. If you plan on putting your engine in a boat you would want to find a carb or mixer with throttle control. The engine will run cooler if you leave the spark advance lever at top dead center or just a little before and use the throttle control on the mixer or carb to increase rpm. This Detroit has little throttle control lever on the mixer.

I am looking for just such an engine.
I have an 18 ft wood hulled launch and this would truly be nice in her.
If she is not for sale do you know of any that might be?
This is really a work of art and my hat off to you sir!

Thank you for the compliment on my little engine. I'm not really trying to sell it. Sometimes the Detroit marine engines show up on Ebay or Harry's Old Engines Classifieds. What kind of boat do you have? I would like to see some photos of your boat if possible.
I seen the video of your twin cylinder Vivian marine engine a few months back. What a real nice job you did on it and it runs and sounds so good.
