Bonjour Gil,
Very nice and efficient engine ! I should buy mines to you instead of another person... ;+)
Besides this, I see no cooling system, not useful for this model ?

Well Yes ....  I can definitely see how you might become attached to such an attractive and interesting engine.

Congrats on getting one back into the fold!!!

A couple years back, for a friend in PA, I got one of these newly machined, assembled, and running but unpainted. I finished it for him in black and silver just like his full sized original. I turned it over to him some weeks after I finished all the finish work and polishing. Bottom line is Simone and I became somewhat attached to it but I had already made the commitment to turn it over to him before I began work on it.


Fast forward to Fall 2020 at the Coolspring Power Museum Show and Swap. When we first arrived we toured through the rows of displays and offerings and there on the fender of a trailer I spotted the little Nanzy. I approached the owner and we came to an agreement. Thank you very much GasEngineTom..!


This one is not in the typical black and silver Nanzy color scheme but I like it as is so will likely leave the paint alone.


Below is a video of it including some slow motion.


Enjoy,


Gil
