Five Herb Bedell Engines from October CoolSpring Show
« on: January 02, 2020, 08:55:01 pm »
I finally got around to getting some videos of the Herb Bedell engines I bought at the October Cool Springs show.  Although they all ran when I purchased them, I ended out putting rings in the two smaller engines, as well as one of the larger engines.  We had a new year's party, and I had all of the engines out in the garage, cleaned up and running for the evening, so it was a good time to finally take some videos.

Those are great engines! Thanks for the video.

Oh. I like that little Parsell-&-Weed-looking guy in the background, too!

Hi Doug,
 Glad to see they fell to the right hands to get the tlc. Let me guess rings for the upside down.

Ps, on little green one there is a cap screw in carb inlet, if rings changed up compression experimentation with hole size might be in order. Only mention because it appeared to stall in vid.
