What do you have that has plain old blackblacksmithing or what ever to make it run again?
I have had this engine for over 25 years. It runs good. I guess it threw a rod and someone brought it back to life. It does have a new piston and rod in it as well as about 50 little allen screws and some heavy sheet brass.
It is a 1 HP DuBrie

The engine in Jamie H's boat has a real neat riveted patch job. Too bad he's on the road to Mystic.
See yu'all soon.

Interesting way to put a mounting ear back on an exhaust manifold
Looks like it was drilled and tapped then bolted with the remainder of the bolt machined off.
It works and doesn't leak

A different type of patch ?
A strip of prince Albert Tobacco can
wrapped around connecting rod bearing insert !
Temporary at best but it was just to far to row out of that North Florida swamp !

This engine was given to me recently. The shop made replacement head is nicely executed. The 'Special K' gasket is a much later addition. There has to be an interesting story behind this old piece iron.

Love it! Hope you will keep her as she is as a tribute to the makers and a subsequent owner's zeal! |
