I agree, but in the definition of carburetor it also requires a variable way to control air and that controls speed. I controlled it with air and fuel. I would consider it a rudimentary fuel mixer. Ask any old timer that works on or restores hit and miss engines and they will tell you quickly...

A device is something you can hold in your hand. There was no device here, just an intake port. Also a fuel mixer was a fuel mixer, long before there was a carburetor.

Here is the video you have been waiting for!!

Later today I will post the teardown video..

I built a few water pumps into steam engines on my you tube channel and I run them off air, so what you are saying is possible, excellent guess, you are thinking that's for sure, may be the way I build the next one, but this one is much different, no air!

I really appreciate everyone's guesses. My goal wasn't to make a engine run like this, but to get folks thinking outside the box, so your guesses bring me more gratification then making the engine run. The engine runs in the correct direction and the muffler is 100% stock with nothing added, but...

Not dieseling has stock compression. I am going to wait a while and let people guess, then I am posting the build video.

It really runs! and without a sparkplug or carburetor. Thanks for watching.

This definitely took some fabrication and techniques to build. A 3 hp briggs that runs without a spark plug or carb.

Easily strong enough..

Went to a friends house to pick up a hit and miss engine and while I was there I got some video of his Go-Kart that I thought you fellows and lady's would enjoy. Here is the story first. He is now 77 years old, he does a little cursing, so don't watch the video if you are offended by that, he's...

Thanks!! I will wear it with pride!!

After three rainy Saturdays we finally got to do our build. What started as 5 or 6 good friends, we had around 50 people show up. Some from start to finish, some a few hours and some just stopped by. We started at 8:15 AM and was smoking the tires by 6:15 PM Here is a link to the build if you...

Just wanted to let everyone know that a few friends and I are having a one day build 9/26/15. We plan to post video of the build that evening and the next morning on You Tube successful or not. Instead of trying to explain it all, here is a video showing what we are using and building. Should be...

May be a while, not sure if you looked at my you tube channel, but have a lot of projects going on all the time..
