1920s Maytag Washing Machine Engine [Restoration]

No spark Oil/gas mixture Spark! Bosch Magneto This is bent, I have spare bushings that appear to be in reasonable condition What has been done with this? Asbestos alert! Coat it with oil to reduce airborne fibers. The upper piston ring is stuck. The cylinder looks good. It looks like it's worn out. Someone lined the gas tank with bacon bits! What secrets are you hiding? This controls the amount of fuel. These small parts must be replaced. Lead alert! These brass screws have lead washers. I need to remove the rust first so I can see the paint color.

A nice dark green. Definitely lead paint, so I'll clean it up. Wire wheel for everything...Primer for engraving. Transparent fuel resistant paint. Ultrasonic cleaner + detergent. Nice and clean! The top piston ring is no longer stuck Much better Unpainted parts return to evapo-oxide to darken I'm going to give everything a coat of oil Sensually massage the piston with oil Gaps in the piston rings should not line up with the intake or the exhaust ports I felt that new piston rings were not needed The crankshaft is already greased Old smoking pipe screens This is the governor It needs to be adjusted to 1.2" I will adjust the points later New lead washers Wooden pedal brake The Point spacing should be 0.020" 16:1 fuel mixture Well, that's not supposed to happen.

I forgot the steering wheel nut cotter pin. The steering wheel key disappeared. I salvaged parts from this extra

engine

. RIP. The motor will go under this

washing

machine

. The next

restoration

will be done on this spare part. I'll try to slow down with the governor.
