Mine is giving me same problem not wanting to start it was running 2 years ago

That's a bit bigger than your ZDs! ;-)

Starts and runs real good on the magneto 😇🙏

I like the Z headless F.M.. They are hit and miss. The later model Z was changed to throttle governor.

Its a wonderful thing when these engines get handed down especially to the hands that will keep it running. I have a 1927 model that still apart but I have all the pieces and that's the main thing! Those old throttle governor engines sing just as pretty of a song as the hit and miss do! I see that this engine video is 9 years old now and I'm sure a lot of water has gone over the dam in those 9 years but I pray all has been well with you and your family, take care my friend, God Bless and stay well!

Good video!!!! Good sounding engine. Glad you kept after it and did not let it beat you!!!!!🙂 Work on video quality. You are getting there.🙂

Good video!!!! I agree with most of comments. Recheck timing. May be 180 out Clean check ball in tank. You'll find it. I like your knowledge and willingness to learn!!!!!! 🙂

Young man…your determination is most impressive and is equaled by your obvious knowledge of the internal combustion engine.

Sweet running lil fairbanks 👍

2 cycle...sweeeeeetneeeess

What a beautiful piece of equipment! Thanks for posting

I wish mine ran that well. I think the governor is screwed up but I don't know how it is supposed to be working I rebuilt the fuel pump 3 times and the last time it ran for 30 minuted but I had to constantly move the governor rod to deep it from dying out.

Wow that thing is dialed in! Nice salt block!

NICE ENGINE👍......was that the 3:10 to YUMA i heard in the background.

Creo que es un antiguo motor de combustión interna moviendo un generador de corriente alterna, tal vez todavía lo viera Nicola Tesla

Where is this one?

Best video yet on watching the Corliss valve action. I just wish the camera hadn't swung around so much past the other stuff.

I can assure the engine is running on steam. You can see thru out the video of the boiler that provides this engine with steam. The popping noise randomly heard is the feed pump Providing it with water. This boiler is more modern then the engine it has a diesel burner to heat it.

that isn't operating on steam!

I did not hear any clicking when you were spinning the magneto. I would assume something like this would have an "impulse" magneto. The click should be the trigger release mechanism. It makes the magnets spin momentarily very fast (impulse) past the coils to make a quick burst of electricity. Not hearing the click might mean it is not an impulse mag or the impulse part of the mechanism is not working. This would make for hard starting for sure. Something to check anyhow.

Jonathan w is on U tube and he just found a bates corliss. He is bringing it home to save it!

Very impressive engine. Thanks for sharing.

YOUR FIRST BACK FIRE MAKES ME THINK THAT YOU HAVE THE TIMING 180 DEGREES OUT OF PHASE.

good afternoon could you give me information about this engine so that I can start to restore it and be able to evaluate what are the missing ones that it has

Somebody got that fuel pump working. It wouldn't run that long without it. Sweet little engine. Hang on to it. Make a go cart with it.

Wow great runner both high and low. You said the engine just runs that slow but have you pulled it down and compared valve spings and maybe look at the needle seat and just tried to find the reason it runs like it does? Maybe the tension of the bearings is just perfect and is worn in just right.

Using easy start will only make it harder to start in the future

I realise that this is an older video. In Australia it will move about in the opposite direction. Try putting some polish compound on the floor, walk away and just run it a couple hours. ;-) I had a couple of these D's still have 3 Z's 2 ZC's I haven't seen a well balanced Fairbanks yet. The older ZD's are 1 1/2 hp and the newer ,lol , ones are 2. All these Fairbanks draw fuel from the intake stroke instead of a fuel pump. Simpler yes, but can be harder to start. I believe Fairbanks stopped using a fuel pump after 1918 when they started the "Z" series. Before then, there was a fuel pump built into the carb. I think those were the "H"s. Have fun with them.

Muy bonito motor

Clean your check valve in the tank. Then double check your timing. Good luck 👍!

NICE !!!!!!!!

Sweet! I hope I can get my engine to run that well someday. It's a 1924 M 1 1/2 hp

You did a GOOD job !!

get some copper core wire. that new resistor stuff isnt good for these old mags

Runs real nice

someone is looking to loose their thumb while they start that engine...

Ok you got it :) Nice job!

Did you get the hot mag sorted out?

Did you get the hot mag sorted out?

Nice running Headless Z; my grandson has the ignitor model like yours, and we have a bit of a problem with getting it running most of the time. We put in new points, but I am going to work now on the setting of the ignitor trip lever. Nice video of yours.

Great Job! You remind me of myself at a much younger age. It's young folks like you that reassure me that this world hasn't went to hell in a hand basket.

Nice Engine, nice video, thanks for posting, and thanks for demonstrating how to properly oil pre-start

Nice engines! Yeah... Fairbanks Morse engines tend to be harder to start than some of the other manufacturers of that time.

Thats cool my fb can run pretty slow but you may have me beat

cool, I have one but I would not run it that slow because the engine is not getting any oil. if you want to get some two cycle oil and mix just a little in to oil it.

That's a nice engine and a good working video of it! Thanks for posting.

Nice Fairbanks Morse. I just got a 3 hp 1915 or 1916 Z. Your engine is actually a Fairbanks Morse Z style D.
