Finally got a Sipp
« on: January 24, 2023, 04:17:38 pm »
Well, since I can’t talk Bruce into letting go of a 1/2hp Sipp, I’ll have to settle on this 1/4hp  :D  sent a low offer expecting a counter offer but the seller accepted  ;D  Kids seem to like it :D

That's really GREAT Nick!!!

Looks just like mine, with a disc crank and a dark reddish/maroon sort of color. Yours looks a lot better from here, but mine seems to have a super mechanical/internal condition as it runs easily on just a breath.

Seems to me the 1/4 horse Sipps have a distinct advantage in that they don't need a mega boiler to be able to run well.

Just when I was going to let you have your choice for $150.00 Nick...lol (just kidding for those who think I'm serious)
Looks like a nice original 1/4 hp'er.

Wow - congrats - that's a wonderful engine
I would like to have one - but these are not
available in my search area - haha
The Size is very nice too - about a Stuart Victoria
even a little bigger?
Now you only have to hang on a boiler and let it run...
