Detroit Engine Works 2-1/ 2 hp single cylinder 2 cycle fuel injection 1908-1916.

My father found this engine in Lake Alfred Florida. The City of Lake Alfred used the engine to run a pump that pumped water up to the Cities water tower. The engine was manufactured in Detroit Michigan sometime between 1908 & 1915.  One of the first fuel injection engines made.  Sold new for $147.00 in (1908). Restoration by Heller Davis.

I purchased this engine from a fellow collector at the Florida Flywheelers show. The photo on the far left is what the engine looked like when I purchased it.  As you can see the engine was not restored and missing most all the governor parts with exception of the fly weight. The governor parts were replaced and the engine is completely restored now. This is one of the very first fuel injection type engines. Injection system pressurized from the crank case.  The photo below is a close up of the top cap for the Peterson fuel reservoir on this engine. Engine restoration by John Davis & Heller Davis.

Eclipse # 3  two horse power hit & miss manufactured by Fairbanks, Morse & Co. Beloit, Wisconsin 1934 to 1941. This engine was originally designed to be used on a pump jack for pumping water when there was no wind for the wind mills.  Also was used on other farm equipment. Above photos show it being used on a mixer.  The mixer could be used for cement, mortar, plaster, mueller, etc..

Petter Junior (Little Pet) 1.5 hp early series 1,  S/N 1063. I purchased this engine from a engine collector-seller at one of our shows here in Florida.   He acquired the engine from a farmer in Orms Town Quebec, Canada. According to the records from the Petter factory there were originally 300 of this style engine produced. Serial numbers 1000 through 1300.  Due to problems with the engine at least 70 were known to be returned to the factory by customers for refund. There are around 10 of these engine known to exist at this time most of them are located in England or Australia. Restoration is currently in progress, below are some update photo's. New white metal bronze bushings for the mains, Added seals to the mains, New piston rings, New wrist pin,  New Jet nozzle on the carburetor, New check ball & screw on carburetor, New inner return tube on carburetor  reservoir, New diaphragm for fuel pump.
