Posted by SoupMeister 5/23/2005 7:16 PM | remove   I don't think they did. That cog was there for driving something else. The engine used a camshaft. You can see it pointing directly upwards. The engine cylinder (singular!) is underneath that wooden case. The flywheel has cog teeth too. They probably used generalised parts, or the engine came ready to be adapted to many uses. Difficult to tell with all that rubble in there. Posted by IIVQ 5/27/2005 1:00 PM | remove   Yeah, but in a one-cylinder engine it could be that there was a starter engine, and they usually are attached to the flywheel... Posted by SoupMeister 5/28/2005 7:34 AM | remove   Makes sense. I wondered how they started that beast. Perhaps that's what the removed machinery was for. (In fact, when I first saw it, before I had a closer look, I assumed it was a pump driven by a diesel engine that was removed or scavenged, hence the cut shaft.)
