What a Beauty Carl! Must have been very exciting to get one of the first few "new 50's"

Carl, your engine looks grand.  It is so nice that Jensen has once again started making the 50.  Does anyone know how many they have made since the re-introduction of that model?  The one I just worked on was signed by Andrew Guy on the underside, but there was no number.

I would love to hear of your experiences with it.  One thing I noticed was how great the water pump worked...had to constantly be filling that water cup or it would get sucked dry!  Good problem to have!

I plan on making a water tower. I have a galvanize tank and working on getting the other parts.

Carl, I have found that stainless steel kitchen canisters used as cookie jars make wonderful water tower tanks.  The metal legs on mine are just 1/2" aluminum angle stock sold at Lowes in 8 foot lengths...I needed two.  Screws are 6-32 x 3/8" stainless...most wood screws which tap into aluminum nicely with a drilled starter hold and a few machine screws same size.
I used a Swagelok brand shutoff valve, but only because I had one in my parts box...there are much cheaper alternatives out there if you don't mind waiting 6 weeks for delivery from China!

Good luck making yours...a fun project.

Nice to see another one of these flagship Jensen engines, i'm pleased Jensen reintroduced them a few years ago and it looks like they are selling well.
