Herw's a video of what passes for "fun" at the old marine engine show in Calvert this past weekend. No old engines were hurt or damaged in making this video

Thanks for the video Miro. Enjoyed the show, good seeing all of our friends. The engine came to me from Dave, Keith said he thought I would have it running within a week, then said three days. The heads were off, every thing looked good, installed them, rigged up the timer and cranked it off. It ran longer, Bob pulled the carb away too soon on this test. |

Speaking of being amazed by JB this one floored me:

Richard, no ID on this engine, can you see enough in the video to search? We were discussing the cast iron water pump, a Caille twin Dave brought along also has a cast iron pump. I read years ago that a lot of mfg used CI instead of brass during WWI. Have you heard this, would that tend to date an engine? |
