Always amazes me when something 80 to over 100 years old is stiil in operation today. I know machinery has evolved over the last century, but in a throw away society we live in theres nothing can stand the test of time as these ancient engines. They are awesome.
Hey my friend, that's a nice, (and rare), engine you have there. I have a 1928 5 HP Jaeger that I restored but it was a bear to start. I made a hand crank that slips over the end of the left hand shaft with a ramped notch that catches the fly wheel key. When it starts, it pushes the crank off the key with no safety issues at all. I just prime and ready the engine, hold the exhaust valve in until I get some RPM's up and then let the valve close... works great. Looks like you might be a bit of a fabricator and that set up might work for you too. Best to you.
Thank you ! Yeah it’s not too bad to start. I have a few things that were worn on it and I think it will start easier once tightened up and better timed. But yeah some some videos of guys using a crank on it. Definitely not out if the question for me 👍🏻

These things were built so simple but yet so strong. They do last.

It unlatches and closes the exhaust valve. Not opens it. I still hit like 👍
Yeah I was going to edit my description but then said heck with it
Eu gosto de ver o funcionamento desses motores.
Ele é a gasolina ou diesel?
Thank you. This is Gasoline.
I am the 400th one
Yes ! TY. Now I need to get to 1000. Lol
