This San Francisco built engine originally powered a stern wheeler on the Snake River in Idaho. The and boat sat submerged in the river for 50 years. A local man drug the engine out of the river and used it as yard art until I obtained it in 1993. It took me 13 years to restore it back to running condition. The engine is a running display at Powerland Heritage Park museum in Brooks Oregon.
Three cylinder Frisco Standard 30 hp

I’ve had this engine for years and could never get it to run with a good 3 cylinder cadence. My son and grandson finally took the time to time it right and get it to sound like “po-ta-toe” when it runs. Listen This the only running 3 cylinder Standard that I know of.

Description This was the first start up of this gas engine after a long restoration process. The engine was used in Nome, AK to power a drill rig around 1904 during the Gold Rush. It was very rusty and required that many parts be remade. It is engine no. 26872, one of the earliest Atlas engines known to exist.

Description This is a 5 hp Standard Gas engine built in San Francisco around 1915. It still has original paint and patina after working in a Columbia River gillnet boat all of its life. As the video demonstrates, it still runs beautifully.
1904 Corliss Gas Engine start up
Переглядів 131 тис.10 років тому
1904 Corliss gas engine runs for the first time. This engine has a fascinating story. It was set up to crush tin ore in NW Alaska on Cape Mountain when lode tin was found in the ground in 1901. While being installed, placer tin (loose ore found in the streams) was discovered in the same area. Mining ore out of the streams being much easier, this engine and stamp mill were abandoned and the engi...
30 hp Union Gas Engine at Antique Powerland Museum

This 2 cylinder Union Gas Engine was built in San Francisco around 1916. It was sold to the Alaska Packers Association and shipped to Clarks Point, Alaska where it pumped water for a salmon cannery on Bristol Bay. When it was decommissioned the pump shed deteriorated and it sat in the elements for many years. I discovered it in 2007 and shipped it to Oregon where I totally rebuilt it and replac...
Shuckalaca Boom,The sound it makes!
Fascinating mechanism! I would enjoy knowing more!
Nobody never shows how was done the ignition!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Poor video.................
Lovely ❤
Is there any whereabouts on this gem I’d love to see it in person if possible. If anyone has any information about it, i’d be very appreciative?
@@andydahlman3629 It is located in Oregon, just seven miles from Powerland Heritage Park where the Great Oregon Steam Up takes place the last weekend of July. I have other great engines on display there and home tours can be arranged. Come join us for a great show!
@@billprine684 thanks for the info might have too come visit sometime.
Very nice, how about a video explaining the workings and the purpose of the various mechanisms on the engine?
Does it have an external fuel tank or just a fuel line running to it? So cool now I want one.
Ever consider selling this engine?
Like that starting hit , loud boom 👍👍🇺🇸
Not set right. Making it ask twice for the mix is a shame.
great engine video, love the sounds and motions
So beautiful.... Just music 🎵🎶... Love it
Only a man can start that engine. Women and children need not apply
Really like this engine Sir. Would love to see it someday.
I wish my car started this easily! Why can we not still have these lovely quiet powerful engines? Todays things are all noise and waste, these old things ran on a pint of diesel all day!
Everything you'd want in an engine! Starts nice, runs great! About now, I'd normally say belt her up, but you'd need an awful big load so it would even notice.
We’re did you get this machine?
Love those hit and miss engines
Thanks for the post.
What a beauty, thanks
There's two types of Corliss engines... the steam type, and then the ones made by the Corliss Company... this is one of the latter! Properly a hit-or-miss engine by type.
I can understand why to use Corliss type intake valves on a steam engine, but for an internal-combustion engine, I don't see the point.
I suppose you have no close neighbours on the exhaust side :)

This is one of Bill's many meticulous restorations on rare stationary engines- mostly built in San Francisco. Bill researches original drawings and has studied casting tech, when necessary making the patterns and having castings poured for parts with zero availability to make great old iron run again. At 2min 50sec this zooms in on the 'governor' and it's flyweights, which he had cast from his homemade pattern. In early AUGUST each year you'll find several of his engines at the Antique Powerland Museum in Brooks, Oregon. Old steam tractors chuffing around, hobbyists bring their restored stuff and proudly display/swap/sell. Really well worth a visit, it is amazingly diverse and tons of fun for any motorhead. Takes a couple days to see it all if you get into it.
WOW, your timing and fuel delivery IT'S FRIGGIN ON POINT. That thing started at almost 0rpm. Good job, Sr.
Impeccably said, good sir!
can you control the speed(or the rotation per minute) of this engine once it was turn on?
Bill, how did you get it out of Cape Mountain? That's a pretty remote place.
did you salvage the stamp mill too?
I would love finding such an engine for my 1901 Refurbished Oldsmobile. I run a Briggs Stratton in it now.
really neat engine and story... Runs great!
a very nice engine! it would be great to see it in a boat!
I love these old giant hit and miss engines... Sounds like it's a big dog getting ready to sneeze on each power stroke 😂
Magnificent runner.
Going to sound stupid but is that a four stroke?
No question asked is stupid...yes, it's 4 stroke cycle.
You're a good man, john robert, apparent from one kind reply.
then sometimes fiores twice
what with the timing, it only fires every 10 seconds?
These old engines only fired when power was needed. Under heavy load it would fire every time around.
+By The Sea Aspirin Shop Yup, hence the term "hit and miss" - it only fires when needed. The fuel dosage is the same every time it fires. Crude, but effective for it's time!
Hello Bill Prine Awesome!!! Got to love the old hit & miss.
Beautiful engine with a fascinating story. Well done, sir. Thank you for sharing!
A honey of a machine. Beautiful sound!
How long does it take for the gas tank to drain
These old machines are cool as cool can get. How many miles per gal?. lol I like the old centrifugal governors on these old engines. I believe they were used to keep the engine running at a constant stabilized speed or something to that effect. Who was it that invented that, was it a guy named Jim Watts. He had something to do with steam engines I think. I used to know about shit like this, but it's been many years sense I even read on the subject. I lost it cause I don't use it. Still awesome just the same. I'm glad there are people around who keep this old history alive. Good job fellas. And thanks.
I love these early engines! Definitely 'old'; built in the days when they were still finding out about engine balancing. The crank has no balance-webs opposite the big end, the flywheel has no cast-in weight opposing the piston stroke. Nice job, well worth preservation.
Shorting the plug would kill the battery the plug circuit is open not shorts!
There is nothing cooler than old machinery! That is so amazing! Very nicely done! The history!
Now all you need is some tin ore to crush. Seriously, what a beautiful machine with a surprizing history. Thanks for sharing :)
That is amazing. What I'd give to have an old engine like that. Even a small one.
J Han I'm just borrowing a friend that said they are really slammed they have to understand that way I got to find another rainy day needed some buildings may appear to get it over here for a little while dodging rain suit 103

Or pretty close until 9 if anything yet. Yea finally
soooo when it needs a new top end....can I go into auto zone and get parts for that?? 😂😂 just kidding
No offense, but the funny thing here is that we will all probably be long gone before it needs anything new.
пукалка такая:))))
If this old engine could talk, I'd bet that it would say thank you for the rescue. All it needs now is some work to do. That's what it was made for.
