That is a heck of a project you have there.

It would be nice to get a back-story on this engine such as where
you found it and how long ago, to start.  Was it stored in a barn?
Was the owner a 'character'?  All cool! 

Hopefully, Jensen will be able to supply any parts you
may need.  They are also good with advice and help when needed.
For me, they fixed an unfixable engine.

Keep us posted,

I wish I knew more about it's life before me.

I have had it more than 17 years as these pictures were taken in Westport before we moved to Easton in April 2007.
Clearly an incorrect water pump is on it. I was able to get Tom Jr. to make me a new water pump. This was over 15 years ago.

The rest of the parts, I have had to source outside of Jensen. Doug supplied an early correct generator with a cracked magnet that still works.

Note that Tom Jensen Sr. used Stuart Turner site glass parts on this early example.
