My old friend--the Kerzel

[Brian Rupnow]

I'm not building anything much these days. I went out to my main garage today to dismount the Rupnow Vertical Engine and clean it up and store it on a shelf. Just for the heck of it, I grabbed my Kerzel hit and miss engine (which was the second i.c. engine I ever built) off a shelf to see if it would run, after setting for 6 years. A bit of fuel, some water in the cooling tank, and this is the result!!

That Kerzel is a neat little runner Brian. Are you going to put it to work or is this one a " freeloader" Rof}Rof}

Herbie--that engine was put to work many times when I built it 6 or 7 years ago. If you hunt down my original post on the build of this engine, the videos are still there.---Brian
