My Engine

My Engine is a 1-1/2 Horse Power McCormick-Deering "M". The engine is a sparkplug model and has a Wiko EK Magneto on it. I purchased the engine at the K & O Steam and Gas Engine Show at Winfeild, KS, in August 2001. The engine was in running condition as purchased, but needed a new feul tank and repainting. Disassembly and restoration of the engine is already underway, and I hope to be done by Dec. 2001.

2. This photo is a little brighter. I am pouring gasoline into a small container so that I may prime the mixer.

3. A shot of the head and mixer. Note the home-made choke plate.

4.  Pouring the gas in, ready to crank it up.
