Looks like it’s been sitting for awhile. At least the engine components are easy to get to!

Cool!

That will be an interesting project to work on... Good that you have a photo of the "Guaranteed for all time" warranty plate

Ugh... Probably the Wico EK...
If you get spark, they seem to fire pretty easy...

I was curious and did some searching for Fuller and Johnson engines and WICO Magnetos...

Have fun!

Wish I was closer to some of you so I could

look over your shoulder while you are working on your projects....

All ready had the head off (sorry forgot pics) cut valve seats and valve faces . The valve guides have some wear but not to bad , the valve stems are worn bad and new valves are needed . They are available for for $50 each :usa:

plus raping at the border . Fuel tank is off and soaking in varsol, then will be filled with evapo-rust before epoxy lined. The Cylinder looks good but will get honing later . As you see checking the valve and ignition timing . There is a roller that runs on the cam that the bushing is worn that will need to be addressed , but the fly wheel needs to come off to make that happen . That will come later after I know it will run and have a list of parts to get . Have evapo-rust in the water jug for a few days trying to get that cleaned up . The connecting rod bearing is worn and will get replaced later .

Before and after replacing the insulation on the coils and condenser. After almost a 100 years it was crumbling . 2 layers of shrink tube . Cleaned the points and all connections . Replaced the the spark plug wire with new steel core wire . I have a new spark plug , The old one will become a compression gauge adaptor. I was told by the guy I got it off to leave it as is and not paint it .I will do that for now , But this is what I am thinking of doing with it for showing .
