[SEL] Jones Oil Engine From Syracuse

[BIGFLYWHEEL at aol.com]

Dave I have never owned one and never run one of these engines but I will  
assure you I will picked this engine up. Bought site un-seen. Gosh I hope 
all  works out. I will post pics when it gets here. I might need a hefty man 
to turn  the flywheels. Looking for volunteers. LOL 
Thanks

Hi Ken, That explanation sounds fascinating but as a realist  engine man 
for 50 years it doesn't seem to fit in with my  experiences.
Does anyone have any practical experiece of running these  engines?
