I know where Gene is, I think he has seen it by now... As to the
"ignition", it really looks to me like it is run on compressed air, no
ignition system, no carb, no plugs, no battery, no fuel rails..... One
plastic line coming in, I assume it's pressurized air

Deisel?

I dunno, the cylinders are tight but there are no compression rings. I
still don't think it's internal combustinon... No glow plugs either...

You're probably right about the compressed air, hadn't thought of
that.

I second the compressed air idea. If you could see the cam timing a
little better it would be easy to figure out. A compressed air machine
would be a 2 stroke with the intake valve opening around TDC and the
exhaust valve opening on the compression stroke. Pretty much a
compressor running backward.

Or a steam engine.
