[SEL] RE: Fuel Savers

[Harry Terpstra]

I think that generally fuel savers were only used on engines over 2-3 HP.
My 2 hp Stover A has no fuel saver, the bigger 3 hp YB does has one.
Small Associated had no fuel saver, the bigger did have one.
Fairbanks used them on the 3 HP T types and bigger engines.
The headless Witte has a fuel saver.
International used them on there Famous line.


I think on higher speeds with bigger engines it was necessary to prevent the
intake valve from fluttering.
