The original produced 2 horsepower at 1000 rpm from 347cc, with a 3 inch bore, a 3 inch stroke, a compression ratio near 5 to 1 and roughly 135kg of cast iron. It pumped water, milled grain and ran lighting plants in places the grid had never reached. The model reproduces that architecture and still has to run. - 16mm bore, 18mm stroke, 3.6cc, four stroke, single cylinder - 500 to 3000 rpm, around 0.2 metric horsepower - Evaporative hopper cooling, no pump and no fan - Splash lubrication from a 25:1 to 30:1 petrol and oil premix - Mechanical trigger ignition fired from a single 1.5V cell - Imperial 3/16-40 threaded spark plug The detail worth studying is the gear chest.
