Looks like another real beauty you've got yourself there Jim!!!

I'm still wishing that I'd managed to score myself one of the H73 two-cylinder Holt engines from way back a couple of years ago. Certainly, can't keep up with all these super nice high-end engines that are being made now!

It’s very hard not to buy all these new ones… I’m glad you are so we can enjoy them 😂

I may have to save for the N01 Novo…

Thanks all.

I've been informed by Henry that -

"That carb is a scale model of a vintage design.  I can't remember the manufacturer offhand, but they are seen on many antique engines in the US.  The tiny spring underneath is an automatic choke valve that helps guarantee the engine draws fuel on intake strokes.  Quite a delicate accomplishment to replicate at this size".

@JinMachine

Jin how you miniaturised the carburettor on the B02 is simply amazing!

EDIT: 

2 of these were just delivered this afternoon!

#05 and #06

What number is yours, Jim?

------------------------------------

I really like the look of this engine.

It is a quite accurately scaled down Olds hit and miss gas engine.

I have one inbound right now.

Jin has created another amazing piece!

Here are videos of my 1/2 scale models of the Olds. (Both have been traded away)









And....

Here is a video of a full sized Seager Olds Hit and Miss Gas Engine filmed by our friend Will Smith.
