That's ticking over about 200/250 RPM.
-
@johndeere4300 very slow about 350 rpm
-
when its idiling at the end what rpm is that running at?
-
@gardnerman21 Yes, you are so right about that. You couldn't even get a new engine comparable to the Gardner.. All of the new ones are CT Engines (CHINA TRASH!!) Glad you kept your Gardner......

@endymius; My Engineering Expertise has always been ALMOST perfect. Fact is after 50 years of chasing/making parts etc. I am just glad to get in something and GO! I have nothing left to prove as I have made everything I have found run fine. Just tired of the hassle. We have had Bikes, Vettes, boats, and street rods to Grandkids Go-Karts. Get something newer and it will last my lifetime now. I always 'looked after' my own stuff as others were not up to my standards---especially New Car Dealers!.

@retiredscot LOL at retiredscot :-D That says more about your own engineering expertise than it does about old engines. Follow your own advice: Get a modern engine and get *someone else* to look after it for you. Quality engineering is best enjoyed by those who know about it :-)

GLAD to be wrong! (First time for everything?) I have tried to make these 'antique' type engines live before by making engine parts, shimming, modifying stuff etc. only to have wasted a lot of time, energy and money. Good LUCK!

This comment has received too many negative votes show
This thing scares me! Do yourself a favor and get a Modern Engine. By the time you are done messing with this hunk of Museum Metal you will hate it. You'll spend more time babysitting it than cruising. The Novelty is NOT worth it! Donate it to a museum, get a Tax Write off as a Charitable Contribution and go visit it whenever.........
