this is the 3rd video on this antique gile 1910 marine engine that I purchased that was so called RESTORED, yeah sure. anyway, we took it apart on the last video and found big rot holes in the cylinder, and the piston was backwards plus missing a ring, that and the coil was not performing proper. lets see if we can fix some of those and get it to run better.

    Love the video!!! Always concerned about the loose clothing around machines deal but somehow you dont get tangled up.

    Hmmm as a last resort you could cut the top off the barrel above the piston line reach in and braze up the holes , clean up the barrel with a hone or what ever then weld the top back on the barrel

    This engine was so "well restored" that even the museum didn't want to show it. But thankfully, Mustie can get everything to work again ๐Ÿ™‚
