This is my winter project. I got started on it about 3 months ago and cranked it up the first time last night and what a thrill it was. It's a replica of a 1886 Benz motor wagon power unit. I still need to build the carb. and cooling tank. Tom

A Gismo ??? If it has a flywheel or spins and is made with small parts. I'll take one! If it makes noise, moves, or requires frequent oiling and dusting it's a better deal yet. It's especially right if its shiny and bright; but if it's dirty and dull it wont mater at all...

Thats a stunning bit of work.
Was it made from casting or bar stock, either way great job.
Look forward to seeing the rest of the vehicle take shape.

Wow, Tom, what a thrill to watch that run! I may have to build a smaller, compressed air version of that engine. I really love the flywheel!

Thanks Guys.
STW no castings were used just a lot of welding and grinding, you can see a build log over at HMEM.
Chuck go for it and post a build log I would love to see it.
When I get it running better I will post another video. Tom

WAY TO GO TOM
that is one very nice engine, it has a fair kick to it when it fire's. you must have very good compression.

I don't know Chuck, I wouldn't stand behind Tom if you think he's got good compression.
Now the engine, yeah, I'd say it's got darn nice compression.
Very nice Tom. Going have to check out your build over on HMEM now.

Bernd

Thanks it has less then 3 to 1 compression but it has a 6 inch stroke in the video above I have the timing at about 30* atdc. here is a video of the first start at tdc
I am really surprised how well the slide valve seals but its slow to open and close . Tom

Tom,
I can now understand why those old auto's they showed bounced around so much when they were idling.
Looks like you need to bolt that table down so the motor doesn't dance all over the place too.
