Sweeeeeeeeeet.... I like to watch those big boys run, they are peak TQ at like 300-500 rpm
like the Queen Mary mills...
Have you ever been in any OLD power plants where they have the OLD stationary engines sitting in moth balls??? There is a STRONG group of well connected collectors for those old single or double lung stationary diesel engines or compression engines... I had this one SOLD to a guy in South Dakota and my friend backed out because he got cold feet selling it for 30k...
I wonder how many times I could paddle a solo touring kayak around Catalina in a years time...
^^^ this ran a DC gen set and had large glass / lead / acid batteries to provide lighting in a clay pit/mine near St Louis...Last edited by 2manymustangs; 08-31-2016 at 11:29 AM.

That's so super cool!! Question though, why so many lobes on the cam? Did they make one cam for several models? Originally Posted by 2manymustangs

It has something to do with how you start the engine, the tank on the back is a compressed air tank, there is a separate small HIT-NN-MISS gas engine with a antique air compressor that pumps up the tank, you pull a lever and move the cam followers off the primary run lobes (that actuates the valves and allows fuel to flow). SOme how there is a position where it opens valves and lets the engine spin free of compression... Pull the lever and then the intake and fuel metering valve starts to work...
