Are they still made? Any good as marine engines with today's expectations?
It would be great to go chugging , or poketing along!

you could get the same effect from a modern engine by fouling the
sparkplugs, damaging the spark plug wires, putting dirt in the fuel tank,
or anything else you can think of that will cause the engine to miss, cough,
snort, and sometimes backfire.

I'll let you know when the body finally rots off my car - my engine must be
about right for "marine" use from the description ;-))

Try Lindsay Technical Books. They have instructions on making these engines,
including making the castings. Good luck. Otherwise, look for old farm engine
shows or clubs. Lots of these there.
