Hi Jim,

Those engines are a good design, and very popular, as you said. And they run like the dickens! I have a 647, which is the electric heated version. Did you know they have a slotted eccentric to run in both directions? I also like the threaded-stem throttle valve -- very easy to control the speed.

Thanks for posting the video!

Paula

Jim, I would have assumed that this was a Weeden 14...at least my 43 looks quite different 😉

Very nice engine, thanks for sharing 🍻

*error I have erroneously called my Weeden #14 a "Weeden # 43" in the video :(
