Hit and miss marine engine
I have a hit and miss marine engine. It's in pieces and needs a new piston and the cylinder is cracked. I was thinking of making it work or is it not worth the time?

There are forums for those engines, may get a better opinion there. They are the reason I still go to fairs though!

They are neat to watch. They have a gathering every year close to my house for the hit and miss and anything steam. Pretty small crowd of older people.
Best use I have see for one was an ice cream maker. |

They have one in Carlisle at some events powering an ice cream maker. I just traded some parts I was'nt going to use for a restored Maytag engine. I remember my uncle had one when I was a kid. It powered a drag saw.

In my shop I have on loan from a collector a single cylinder 1920's era marine engine. It's on a wooden cart near the entry door and gets occasional attention. Most think it's a hit-n-miss, but it's not. In the past couple of years I think 3 people have correctly identified it as being a marine engine.

The engine I have has what I consider a heavy flywheel. It also has (I've been told) a Model T coil. I'll try and post pictures this weekend.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
