This is another fine engine recently added to my fathers colletcion. It is a 7 HP Hercules hit and miss engine on orginal cart. It runs off kerosene and gas mixture.

  • Nice!! Did you have to do any work to it to get it running?Iif so my neighbor sure could use someone knowlegable to help his get his running.(herc. 7 hp) He's been told bad carb to too much compression from carbon.

  • Yes we had to do a little work on it. Had to find someone to make two new needles for the carb, new gas lines and a good old fashion elbow grease to get it all cleaned out. Still needs to get the mag rebuilt but right now it runs off a coil and battery. it takes about two people to get it turned over.

  • You should try some Coleman fuel in it,it would run alot better...Mine Shure Did ! :)

  • I will surely try that when it warms back up again. Thanks.

  • So awesome. I wonder what the stroke and bore is? I bet it has super high compression ratio. I also wonder what the diameter of the crank shaft journals are?

  • @powerjoke1 : sorry for not understanding at first !... when we look the video, nothing is attached to the motor, so it don't do anything but only run for nothing... if he was doing something its ok... now with "braindead4554" I know what those motors do, instead of a jerk like you(powerjoke1) that insult me!

  • Try not to be such a dumbass on your first post on a thread.......but i am guessing your probably a dumbass on pretty much any post on any thread you reply to huh? ;)

  • that looks to be a throttler type engine with hit miss style governor installed on it as I noticed the exhaust valve latches on it but it has a kero carb and head

  • They were used to run lots of different farm equipment. Like threashers, coffee mill, corn mill, butter churns, water pumps, mud pumps, and just about anything else that needed power to run.

  • instead of said that, just answer my question, jerk

  • As opposed to you, polluting YouTube with dumb ass comments...
