- Well I went out to visit my buddy Brad today to get some help with one of my engines and we decided to have some fun and drag out some of hit Hit Miss engines that have been siting for a while and fire them up! I learned the starting procedure in the progress and it was a lot of fun. I always liked these engines, but now I think I might just have to get my hands on one soon :)!
I've always loved these unique little engines.
They are really cool! I am going to get my hands on a vertical one at some point soon! ( Although seeing as though I just bought a vintage truck, it might be a while lol!) Thanks for Watching!
Wow colin that's a pretty Awesome engine .. super cool way before my time i enjoyed the video
Yea it is! I wish I owned it lol. I will have to get my hands on one at some point. They're cool even if you aren't into engines because all the mechanics are on the outside - There's a ton to look at. Most of the stuff I like and a decent chunk of the stuff I own is from before your time lol. Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for Watching!
@@colin_5839 lol i got watch it all lol and your welcome no problem
👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks! Do you know Brad from the LIAPA?
how think do you think the cylinder would have to be? i’m interested in making one someday when i finish my welding school
That's an interesting question! I honestly have no idea how thick the cylinder walls are on this engine, but I can say that on my 3HP Witte engine (video on this channel if you are interested) if you pull the head, on the surface of the engine and the head there is a good 3/8 to 1/2" of iron between the inside of the combustion chamber and the water hopper. Back then they overbuilt stuff though, so you could probably get away with less, but I do also believe in overbuilding instead of under building lol. That sounds like a really neat project! Keep me posted on it! Thanks for Watching!
Nice engine, but it's a mid to late 1920's
Huh ok! I was just going by what my friend said lol! Ill certainly pass it along! Thanks for Watching!
@@colin_5839 post the serial number I can look it up for you
Ok I'll ask him for it, but it might be a little while before I can send it to you. I'll keep you posted! Thanks!
Why the water ,, not working it.
Lol and the mask .
Sheesh
For this short of a run I'll admit that the water was probably not needed, but in general even if they arent working I always keep water in mine! Also this video was made during the peak of COVID so both Brad and I wanted to be safe rather than sorry. So glad those days are behind up now.....
