Henry Ford built his first experimental engine using scrap metal for parts. He tested it on the kitchen sink after supper on December 24, 1893. For ignition he ran a wire from the ceiling's light bulb. His wife, Clara, hand fed the gasoline to the intake valve while Henry spun the flywheel. This is a model engine.
Fabricated from steel and pipe. Mounted on wood base. Includes buzz coil and spark plug, all you need is a battery!
