This is a NOVO JR 1 hp TYPE "S" engine. Serial Number 38847.
We bought this at an auction by Jackson, Michigan. The guy that passed
away had a barn full of good stuff.

The fuel pump and fuel pump handle / rocker arm setting on the water hopper were in the bottom of the water hopper when we bought it.

This shows the open crankcase on the left side of the base.

The fuel pump handle/rocker arm on the water hopper is for a 1-1/2 hp Novo. The guy we bought it from must have been using it for a pattern to make the one that's on the engine. The fuel pump handle/rocker arm for a 1hp was just a little shorter than the one for the 1-1/2hp model.

This is a closer shot of the governor, timing gears, detent blade, and home made fuel pump handle/rocker arm.

This shows the carb which is a new casting, missing fuel lines, and the fuel pump handle missing off of the fuel pump handle/rocker arm that previous owner was fabricating.

There was a major clunking when rolling it over so I took the head off to see. The wrist pin is shot and shims need removed from the big end bearing.

Here's a shot of the piston. What's that glob on top with a bolt through it?

Another shot of the glob and bolt on top of the piston.

Piston, connecting rod, wrist pin, bearing cap.

 

Connecting rod needed a new babbit bearing. Below shows some pictures of the process.
