[SEL] FMB two lunger vertical....semi-diesel, I believe

[Richard Strobel]

Thanks guys;  Here's a little background.

   We went down and visited with Mr. Barnes who has had the Barnes Steam and 
Power show for over thirty years..Belgrade, Mt.  Mainly Steam, but he does 
have a few combustion engines.  While we were looking it over he mentioned 
that he wished he knew of a guru who had experience with one.  His one 
comment was: "Safely start one."
   I believe this is a semi-diesel, two stroke, ports, no valves and like 
some two lungers one cylinder is used for starting (the other) on compressed 
air.  I believe I have read where too much priming fuel can cause a runaway, 
and this may be his concern.  There is evidence of a hot tube/bulb.

  I do know he needs some large air tanks and a healthy compressor and will 
try to help him out there.

  So to answer your question Dave...an operator's manual and maintenance 
manual would be helpful.  He is getting up there and like us all, has way 
too many projects.

  The "Ten Stamp" Mill is something to watch and he and friends spent over a 
month finding it a new home.

  Here's some pix's from the 2003 show:
