Detroit engine, Faultless, another great scratch-built model, Edwards, Sattley

摘要

A buddy of mine, Pete Downer, is restoring a circa-1908 4 HP Detroit 2-cycle engine. He's getting close to rebuilding it but needs to get a hold of some parts or get some information and measurements about the fuel injector tube (presumably stainless steel) that fits between the end of the needle valve and projects into the cylinder. The body of the fuel feeder is attached to the cylinder with a 1/4-inch thread so we are thinking that the injection tube should be about 1/32 inch internal diameter, and 1/16 inch outside diameter and be somewhere around 3 inches long. Pete is also rebuilding his friend's Detroit engine so he actually needs two tubes.rnThese engines were also supplied with some kind of friction-drive dynamo-magneto to keep the battery topped up and power the trembler coil, so does anyone know what make of unit this was? We were thinking maybe a Wizard friction-drive magneto or even some other model and manufacturer, so does it state on some literature somewhere what type of unit it should be?
