Gosh really. No pneumatic valve control needed in those days then per Messers Marquez et al. 😜

At last, I've had time to read through this thread.
The only 'old' engine I've ever had a up close and person relationship with is a Ailsa Craig 1hp (I think 🤔) that we had as an outboard motor on our tenders to get too and fro our boats when they were anchored off shore. It always reminded me of an electric whisk to look at, very small and compact but was ultra reliable, never left us stranded, thank goodness 🤣🤣🤣

Never heard of them Julie, but good old google research unearthed a bit of info!👍

I had heard of Ailsa Craig before but that's because they are Potatoes, which  I've grown and also tomatoes, which I still grow and an Onion that I've never grown😂😂😂

I'd never heard of Ailsa Craig outboard motors before. To me it's an island just off the West coast of Scotland that is a major source of granite for curling stones. Not heard of the veggies either!
