These motors must be fairly fuel efficient. When I was a kid 1945/1950, we had a Rustons engine of similar design permanantly fastened to a floor that drove a device that cut mangolds and turnips for animal winter feed and by changing a belt drove a generator at night for electric power in our house. About 1953 we bought our first tv set and the picture used to flicker in time to the engine firing. Memories of a lost youth.

Yes, they don't use much fuel. Thanks for sharing!

I’ve got a Montgomery Wards model WM, made by Briggs and Stratton. I use only ethanol free gas and every year I have to clean the pickup tube check valve. It wouldn’t be bad if I would remember before I kick the heck out of the starter.

The fibers in your tank could be from pipe thread tape.

Yes, that is possible. Thanks.

Hello, I like your videos. On one of your hit and miss engines videos, you set your battery on your garage concrete floor. I was told never to set a battery on the ground or concrete floor for any time because it will drain the battery. Anyway, keep up the good work.

Thanks for watching!
