1924 Witte 2 HP
This is Henry's 1924 Witte 2 HP throttle governed engine. When the engine
was originally sold, it was mounted on a logsaw. There are two points
that confirm this - the top of the water hopper is slanted, so that
when the logsaw was placed on a log, the water wouldn't run out, and
the bull gear shaft in the base casting. It required very little work when
he got it, the hardest thing being welding 2 cracks in the head. The remainder
of the componenets were there, except for the magneto. A few things needed
replacing and jury rigging to get it running, such as the fuel system and
ignition system. The engine is shown here with a battery and buzz coil ignition
system. He has since gotten the Wico EK magneto that belongs on it, and has
it runing on the magneto. There's a whole story behind that, but it'll
be saved it for another time.
