Enjomor 6cc Hit & Miss Engine - Last Mods I Think? Somehow I doubt it though, these engines are made to muck around with.

VE-01 Crossbeam Vacuum Engine added a drive pulley and running some accessories, a Fleischmann Sausage Man and a DIY Baker Fan.

Looks fantastic Jason.

Enjomor 6cc Hit & Miss Engine Modifications and running and hit and missing. Many many thanks for all the help & suggestions I've received. Just a REALLY great looking Hit & Miss Engine, any other hints if you think it could run better, much appreciated as always.

On a temporary board and needs some fine tuning, but running now…..thank you for your help 🙌

Just to check as my other H&M engines operate using a Hall Sensor. Do I adjust the timing (spark firing) by adjusting this brass piece that pushes down to make the spark at TDC?

Thanks GreenTwin, I don't even know why I opened that burner up before I put spirits in there. Amazing piece of history to know. It would be interesting to know the history of all these old engines. I'd say that the family would have been fairly well off to afford a present like that for one of...

I thought some may be interested in this story and maybe, just maybe someone with more genealogical sleuthing ability maybe able to advance my quest to find the relatives a reality? Here's a story, a sad but wonderful story and the history on this nearly Century old Weeden upright Steam Engine -

Been too long since I've steamed up my Weeden #43
