What Should You Know About Hit-or-Miss Antique Gas Engine Parts?

 With the new trend of antique tractor repair, auto mechanics-- specialist or amateur-- can lastly find a use for any old and outdated components that have been using up the room. Retired farmers and agricultural experts find that those old "lots of scraps" that they retired years ago are worth substantial money when brought back to their original conditions. 

Many antique reconstruction clubs nationwide are increasing their passions to include tractor and diesel motor car restoration and keeping members with similar interests by the dozens. Many clubs hold antique tractor shows and races yearly, where champions are generously made up for their engagement.

The fuel system of a Hit Miss Magneto engine contains a fuel tank, gas line, check valve, and a gas mixer. The gas tank most normally holds fuel; however, numerous users began the engines and then changed to cheaper fuel, such as kerosene or diesel. The fuel line attaches the fuel tank to the mixer. A check shutoff keeps the fuel from running back to the storage tank between burning strokes along the fuel line. The mixer creates the proper fuel-air combination using a needle valve connected to a heavy or spring-loaded piston typically combined with an oil-damped dashpot.

A battery and coil or a "reduced stress" magneto are used to light the igniter. A storm is hooked in series with a cable coil using the battery and coil ignition, and the igniter comes into contact with it. When the ignitor contacts are closed (the contacts reside inside the combustion chamber), electrical power streams through the circuit. When the timing system opens the connections, a stimulate is produced throughout the calls, which fires up the combination. When a low-tension magneto (actually a low-voltage high-current generator) is utilized, the output of the magneto is fed straight to the igniter points, and the trigger is generated similar to a battery and the coil.

A typical engine oiler.

The grease is driven out of the bottom of the cup and directly into the bearing as the cover is tightened. Some early engines only have a hole in the approach spreading cap through which an operator can spray lubricating oil while the engine is operating. A drip oiler continually delivers oil drips onto the piston, lubricating it. The piston's excess oil leaks out of the cylindrical tube, onto the engine, and eventually into the ground. The drip oiler can be adapted to leak faster or slower, relying on the demand for lubrication, determined by exactly how hard the engine is working. The remainder of the moving engine elements were all lubed by oil that the engine operator had to use periodically while the engine was running.

Practically all Hit And Miss Antique Gas Engine Parts are of the "open crank" design; there is no encased crankcase. The crankshaft, connecting pole, camshaft, gears, governor, etc., are all completely revealed and can be checked out when the engine is running. It makes for a messy atmosphere as oil and, in some cases, oil is tossed from the engine in addition to oil running onto the ground.

The intake valve does not have an actuator; instead, a light spring keeps it closed unless a vacuum in the cylinder draws it open. A vacuum is created when the exhaust valve is closed during the piston's down-stroke. The governor holds the exhaust valve open when the hit-and-miss engine exceeds its predetermined speed, preventing a vacuum in the cylinder and causing the intake valve to remain closed, stopping the Otto cycle firing mechanism. The governor closes the exhaust valve when the engine runs at or below its specified speed. A vacuum in the cylinder opens the intake valve on the down-stroke, allowing the fuel-air mixture to enter.
