JAP 4 Stroke Stationary Engine Run

Still don't know for sure if this engine is a 4/3 or Model 5 but its a damn nice runner!

had very few hours on it to begin with and I got it at scrap value because nobody wanted to rebuild it!

Idler champion. It doesn't stop until it really stops, lol. I like the look of the fan housing. Heavy flywheel as well. The compressor is nice too.

@DragonFlyback256 yeah the serious flywheel weight keeps it idling at super low RPM. altho the plug fouls after a couple of mins at such low speed.

For those of you who don't already know this (which I'm sure most of Ausie50's subscribers already do know) JAP has nothing to do with Japan, it stands for J.A Prestwich. They also used to build motorcycles and motorcycle engines at one time.

@OlegKostoglatov Thats correct!, this engine was made in 1947 too.
