Featured on the cover of Gas Engine Magazine, Volume 30, No. 12, December 1995.  Has been stored indoors ever since.  I bought it from Joe Olsen of Ukiah, CA in 1993 and have shown it at CA branch 31 "Gas-Ups."

The engine is mounted on a special, solid oak truck , fancy striping, and a unique undercut which allows turning the engine around in a radius equal to the length of the truck. The solid oak rails (6-1/2" x 3-1/3") have a dozen coats of marine varnish over the striping and lettering. The metal guard over the undercut is polished copper with brass screws.  

The engine has an in-line spark indicator light (from a motorcycle) which shows when a spark is sent to the spark plug.  A solar charger is mounted on the battery box's lid to keep the battery charged.

Available only until Thursday, October 24, 2024 in Fairfax, CA.
