	This little guy started out as a small air compressor from the 20's. I turned it into a hit and miss engine with no machining skills and only a lathe. It was a good practice project. The orange part is the original compressor. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOgVACpN79k

	Did some tweaking to it before I brought it to the car show this past weekend. Here is a video of it. I decided to run it on gasoline too. Coleman fuel is expensive! If you watch it on full screen, change the quality to HD. It is much better.
