@@AntiqueCarsandStuff thank you for the info I just acquired one and I know absolutely nothing about a hit and miss engine it's a Fairbanks Morse Z 3 horse it has no spark
They were used to run pumps, saws, farm equipment, etc. Pretty much anything a guy could think of. They were used mostly before electricity was prominent. After electric motors were readily available these became obsolete.

beautiful!
These flywheels look pretty sci-fi compared to the rest of the engine. Are those originals?
Yes they are originals, “dishpan” flywheels.
@@AntiqueCarsandStuff thanks for the reply and info!
How do you shut it down just turn the gas off? Or pull the spark plug wire off with your teeth LOL. Seriously though how do you shut it down.
You can shut it down two ways. Disengage the spark lever blade switch or move the speed control lever to “stop” which does the same thing.

Look up "ShopdogSam" on UA-cam. He is a hit and miss expert.
@@AntiqueCarsandStuff thank you very much for the info.
We have a mom & pop that goes to different venue, fairs etc. and uses one of these to run their home made ice cream churn🇺🇸
Wish I could find a hit and miss or two.
What is the purpose of this engine?

Fuel efficiency. They use the full inertia of the flywheel before the engine 'hits' again...
