I thought some of you would appreciate this.This is an old "Economy" hit- miss engine that my dad bought off a guy back in the early 70's.He use to get it out on occassion and run it.Well his best guess is the last time it ran was in 1980.A couple of weeks ago he asked if i want that "old engine".I took it home and began fiddling with it to see if i could get it running.It was getting spark but no fuel to the carb.The fuel suppy line was plugged solid with gummed up gas.After cleaning out the line and relubing everything i began to crank & crank on this thing till she finally popped.A little more cranking and she was up & running.This thing runs like a top.It needs to mounted to a cart to be able to move it around a little more easily as it weights a TON.In the spring i'll take it apart and give her a repaint.I get the biggest grin on my face watching this thing run.
