      I pulled my knees up, tucked my fingers into opposing armpits and turned slightly to the side. My stomach turned into a knot like sympathy pains when you watch a man get kneed in the groin. Why does this machine exist? It's ungodly. He was cutting on the slowest speed, how big of a log could there possibly be to justify running it at full speed? No. Make it stop.

      Yes this is a monster of a saw machine. No mercy. If it was never made we wouldn't have learned from it and evolved to better and safer saw machines. For me it looks like a mixed steam engine and an early diesel engine. Surprisingly it runs on petrol (gas)

      It was made before the word "Safety" was introduced into the dictionary. Instead of an on/switch, it has a killing/not killing switch. 😄
      When my Great-grandpa died we found a generator from the 1930's in the back of his shed. It looks similar to this machine but without the death attachment. With all the noise and motion it made, it only produced enough electricity for one shop light. 😄

    I love the sound of a hit-and-miss engine at low RPM. The flywheel will keep the engine spinning and it will only fire when the RPM gets too low so it can go several strokes without firing. The sound you were hearing when it sounded like it was dying is normal for this type of engine. The governor will hold open the exhaust valve and stop the engine from firing when at operating RPM. The intake valve is actuated by suction in the cylinder so when the exhaust valve is open the intake valve is not able to pull in air and fuel. Once the rpm drops enough the ignition and exhaust valve reengage just long enough to get the flywheel back up to speed and then shut off again. These engines can idle at a really low RPM's. Great restoration as always.

    Duuuude. This was another notch to add in your belt. Unbelievable work. Your ability to understand the physics and mechanics of it all and make it look so easy is astonishing. You must have worked your ass off to get there. I see this as yet another major milestone in your climb to the top of understanding engines of all varieties. You reminded me of a steam engineer when you were adjusting it. Very impressive bro. Keep on inspiring!

    This tool was built in a time where common sense was very common and didnt need warning labels everywhere in a time where natural selection was the primary focus. In other words that thing is a freaking death trap and I like it. I really enjoy seeing the old technology because it really puts into perspective just how far we have advanced. We are to a point were you can go to Walmart and buy a chain saw you can hold with one hand and runs off of batteries.
