Here's a fresh video after first re-assembly. 

I still need to take it apart again and do a better job with fitting. 
Stuart neglected this one a bit at the factory so it never was quite right and no one knew until now as I am the first to run it. 

As time allows I will make it right.

For now....

Enjoy!

Gil

That poor little lathe didn't like running a load like that so slowly.  No back gears!

That's an awesome find! Was that sold as a pleasure model or an engine made for work? I've seen the boat launch engines on U-Tube and they aren't much bigger...

All right, search to the rescue to answer my own question:

Awesome!
Thank you!

Amazing to see it running super-slow on low PSI, such quality!

Hi Greg, I also like to run them real slow. This engine is still not timed properly to run super slow.
Could you have mistaken slow motion for super slow?

It will run real fast!
This one seems set up to run fast.
Soon I will make a short video of it running at 800 RPM plus.

Here is a Stuart 5A that is more properly set up and doesn't have the extra load and friction of all 3 pumps (it has one pump).
