A friend dropped by last Saturday with a few pieces he was helping a fellow downsize out of.
I was able to acquire this nice little Coles' Power Models Small Horizontal Hit & Miss Gasoline Engine
Since making this video a week ago I have changed over to a Nick Rolands electronic buzz coil. It works considerably better than the car coil on 9 volts. I didn't like it with 12 volts due to a larger spark than I like at the points. I adjusted the timing just slightly and stretched the springs a bit to slow it down a little and that will be another video.
At some point I will also make the green paint go away but that is a bit too ambitious a project for the near future.
Enjoy,
Gil
