back on, wired it to the original coil, primed it, and it started. It blew a whole lot of crud out the exhaust pipe, but it ran.

That was the end of the easy part. Then I needed to get busy. A set of axles and wheels came with the engine and I had wood planed for the cart. Once the cart was built, I bolted the engine and the original cooling tank to the cart. I piped the tank and added a battery box I had saved for a special project. The timing was reset, the Elkhart magneto cleaned up, and a two-way knife switch wired for the coil and mag.

The carburetor had already been worked on. The auto choke or snuffer valve had broken and was brazedyears ago. It was broken again, so I made the necessary repair. I reset the engine speed to a slower-than-rated speed, making adjustments so that it hit every time. The igniter had a spring that was shortened years before, so new springs were wound. A new plunger for both the water pump and fuel pump, and a few pins, were machined by a good friend, Tom Jamboretz. Bob Gill gave me a muffler he had made that looked very close to the original Falk muffler. I installed it, and it looks great. I obtained a new fuel tank from John Hidy and, since half of the original fuel lines were with the engine, I found matching fittings to complete the fuel system.

The restoration has the barn fresh look
