[SEL] BIG Iron

[Judge Tommy Turner]

Yeah John, there are a few single cylinders around as well as 3 two 
cylinders..  I know of nearly everyone that's out there and the single 
cylinders total about 30.  As far as the two clyinders,  I have a 20 HP 
and the big 50 and Mike Leet of TX has a 30.  They were built in 
Winchester, KY and their unique feature is the carb set up.  A brass 
chain is used as the fuel pump by virtue of it to dipping in the fuel 
and carrying it up to a slide valve mechanism in the carb.  They were 
headless and didn't use gaskets as all joints were "ground to fit" as 
their literature said.  Both valves were actuated via a double lobe cam 
and then a rockshaft transferred the energy of the cam to the valves.  
The 50 is the 14th Hagan I've got so I kind of like them!
