    I love the 2 strokes, sounds great my first MacDonald I brought turned over and when I opened it up there was no piston haha to me.

      Yes Jimmy, it drove an irrigation pump all its life and then it caught fire and burnt the shed down so i was told. They were popular power plants around here for driving pumps as crude oil was cheap.

    Very nice. Love it. How much $ are these in Australia? Would love one, but i dont think they sold them here in Scandinavia.
    Don't know how much shipping would be to Sweden.

      Thanks Richard , I did not need to make that injector after all , I had one from another engine type ( so i thought ) in the shed so i was going to scale it down and copy it but I didn’t need to because it was the correct one. !
      Not to sure about the price of these ? Maybe $4 - $5 k.

      @@jenkodiesel5768 Well that's nice. Like the Swedish Hot bulb engines. Many of the makers got the same injector nozzle size from 13-35hp.
      Okay, are they rare over there? Or is it possible find one without loking around for years?

      @@YesterdaysMachinery With the injector, that model of engine has a size like no other ones. It was just incredible luck that i had the right one and didn’t know it.
      The engines are a bit rare and they don’t come up for sale much. I know of one that is on the original transporter that will be for sale one day and the transporter is the most rare part.

      Yes it is. Just for the first run or two i blanked off the outlet and filled the water jacket with water.
