Yup... Had a bit of a "now or never" moment.... Couldn't control myself. Going to be a heck of a project, because this is one engine that NOT AT ALL is designed for practical use (it is claimed to be able to put out 4 HP on glowfuel, which MIGHT theoretically be possible, but the cooling system is absolutely not up to it, and there are a few other things i want to change like the lubrication of the top-deck) and getting an ignition for this also is going to be a horribly pricey affair as there is nothing on the market which means 2 fourcylinder units combined.
And then the gasser conversion....

But I like the challenge...

Bit curious what the pumper carbs turn out to be and if they are going to be gasoline resistant or maybe I have to make something entirely of my own design.

Back in the day, I spent hours trying to figure out if this design could be modified to use gasoline (pre-solenoid days).
Never thought about how it might work with the solenoid incorporated.... Interesting new light on things....
