Galloway 5hp start up / hit miss engine 1916 

AWESOME. It done the job. Probably ground tons of corn meal in its time and fed hundreds of people.

I sure enjoy your videos!😁

Could listen to that engine for hours...its like a heart beat..

Congrats to both Jr. & Sr. mechanics !

Just the thing for my birthday...4th of July....things that make smoke and noise!! Sounds Kinda' like my 46 Knucklehead Harley...we are the same age, both conceived in 1946...

That's what you call a great one

Awesome job, you make it look so easy , but I know a lot of hard work went into getting that baby running. Loving it.

That ol' boy knows what he's doing. Has a pre-EPA gas can. You take the cap off, tilt it up and gas comes out. No twisting the spout, pushing the safety shut off, hooking the nozzle safety plastic lips onto the fuel tank, pushing the can down to keep fuel flowing, and waiting as .005 cc's of gas flows out per minute. I buy those "water can nozzles" that just so conveniently fit the old style gas cans, no more spilling half the can while i wait to fill the tank. Damn, how i hate, Hate with a Passion, the F'en EPA. Don't Even get me started ...

Love your videos! I've been binge watching for HOURS.

Made the year my Grandfather was born . Thumbs up Sam .. And his name was saw also , Great share !

Love the way they sound. They have a music all there own.

It doesn't fire too often but when it does it makes a body sit up and take notice. Very cool machines those old hit and miss.

thks a lot to get a respect for thoses olds engines ^^ 5 hp !!! today a small 25cm3 have +/-5 hp ...i'm allways happy to see old engine runnin well like a new

I liked your startup and prep. Nice running engine. a lawn chair and a "barley" cooler with a porter house steak on a wood fire, and you have everything covered

Shop dog Sam , is an honest man . These days called a hoarder because of it . Any collector I've ever known is a thief , I know a lot of um . Thanks Sam

Great video Shop dog. Good to see ya smiling . I would be too.

One explosion every 10 rotation, the new green engine

Good job, sounds great!👍

100 years old and counting off like new money. Saw them fire flies (Lightning bugs) in the back ground sparking off in unison with that buzz coil for a while there. It's magic.

Galloway is wonderful Grüße aus ÖSTERREICH ( Austria )

Happy Centennial to the 1916 Galloway!

That engine sounds like I do when I get up in the morning.

I really enjoy see u start up engines. That's really something. thank u

Now that right there is the kind of noise I prefer on Independence Day !!!! Hope you had a real good one !

i would hold the governor open just for a sec so it would go POP POP POP POP and watch it idle back down

Nice!! :-)

Best fireworks there is.

Sounds good

Ahhhhhh!!!!!!! Hit the spot!!!

I have a Worthington 2 1/2 and needs a head and gov as well as sleeve or the sleeve sanded in this one as well as connecting rod

What’s the firing order on that thing?

Well, how about that! Makes my Maytag 92 look kinda puny... just saying. Thanks, Sam.

Whered you git that thar engine at? Nice, ware ever it came from!

what I would like to see on this old galloway, (which is my ancestors name, [Galloway]), is hooking this up to a wood stove, with good damper control, running the smoke through an old steam radiator register, then running off the flywheels a v-belt to a either 3,500watt, or 5kw Generator head. Then since I live much further North I would get two items I need all winter. In summer I have solar panels, but in winter here, not only is it cold, but the sun doesn't shine. Plus needing home heat, and electricity. What I would like for storage is a flywheel battery, but since the company in Seattle would be liable if it blew up, they stopped building them. That way I could get by with a 3kw genset. However with an 8kw Galloway, I could easily control the house temperature, and make all the electricity I needed for the home heat plus warmth. I could use waste oil from cooking oil if necessary for lubrication if everything fell apart here in the New Kninted States, which are not at this time United in any fashion. I can put on my MAGA hat to prove that by walking downtown. Our Millenials have lost the way, and do not know how many people have been murdered by Socialista lovers. (Bernie Sanders, their lovebird, went to Moscow Russia for his honeymoon, after murdering all the Kulaks, which is what I am really, and do not like Commie Dogs one bit.

I have never seen a Galloway starting FAIRY, but this seems to be one of the Long FUNGUS TYPE. he seems to know what he is doing. there must be a plentiful supply of SHAMROCK to grow a fungus that well.

Sounds real good. I have a 5 hp Galloway also but am missing the magneto. Can you give me an idea of how you connect the coil, what coil it is and how its is used with the battery?

100 years ☺❤

If you listen closely you can hear California crying about emissions

If my old reindeer ever get too old to pull my sleigh I am gonta try and get you to put a motor like that on it I have a back up now a 3 hp John Deere Ha Ha >>DFW Santa

she is magnificent careful not to take you beards in mechanics. Greetings Christian.

As the song says just a little bit of patience

In your friends left hand is that a spark tester with a gator clip on either end and a bulb in the center? if so where did you get it?

shopdogsam looking good got a McCormick deering LB engine need magneto for it can u help me out here thank u shorty.

the fellow in the blue pants is blocking the shot. lol s

I'm curious if the speed the engine is running at is the normal operating speed when engine would be doing work

how big is the pistons and what weight are the flywheels thanks?

These old engines are why nobody lived past 50 back then. If they didn't kill you by that age when running, you killed yourself by that age just to get away from the work and frustration of getting them running.

Do you know the serial number?

tell me what diameter cylinder?

Stand in front of the camera much?

I think you should have been more prepared for this demonstration.......too boring to finish watching
