Reply With QuoteThat is a real Beauty! I love those old "Hit & Miss" Engines. Does it still fire up?
My dad built this little beast from a castings kit about 30 years ago.
I put a pop can in one of the pics so you can judge the size.
Wisdom does not come with age. It`s just that as you get older you become less physically capable of acting stupid.

It hasn`t been started up in years. But no reason it shouldn`t run. Ran fine last time it was started.Originally Posted by RDLouks

That is too cool and small!
U. S. debt explained...Let's say, you come home from work and find there has been a sewer backup in your neighborhood......and your home has sewage all the way up to your ceiling.
What do you think you should do?
Raise the ceiling or pump out the crap?
Yep, I agree Wendy..............That is too cool and small!

I was gauging its' size by the spark plug. That giant soda can was a surprise!
Every so often at an antique show, I'll see a familiar shape in the loose stuff some sellers have of a one cylinder Maytag gas engine with a step pedal starter. My nieces and their kids can't believe there were actually engine driven washing machines.
That wouild be sweet to get it fired up and run a short video of it running. I've seen little engines similar, but I've never seen one running.
That's a really neat keepsake, that's for sure.

Don`t have a video of that little engine, but I do have some video clips of my dad`s other "little" toy running.
