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

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...

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...

Awwww, ok! That make sense! Like a compression release on a four stroke when you release it to start the compression cycle? Originally Posted by 2manymustangs

The owner cracks me up... He said that his clam chowder is like drugs, he gives it for free the first time to some and they get hooked... Originally Posted by Hotboat
