Having a beautiful engine like that and not running it for years at a time is a bit like having a beautiful Lady in your life and not making love to her for years at a time ..... what's wrong with guys like us anyway?!?!  ;c)

LOL I suppose having a harem of hundreds and hundreds and hundreds, and at our age..........well it slows us down a mite!!!!

When you mentioned the serial number I went to see what mine was but I had forgotten that the identification plate was missing when I bought it, otherwise it is in as-new condition. It's shame as it would have been interesting. They are a great engine for sure.

That brazing turned out nice. The welder that you have is actually a MiG welder it's not a TIG welder.

This is a special edition Jensen Deluxe 20G Big Power Plant Serial Number 01-97 made on December 10th 1997.
Bought this from Gil around 11 years ago, haven't run it for a couple of years.

My friend Joedy Hicks stopped by with some brazing rod and did a proper repair on the bottom end where the displacer piston goes.
