This is a 1-1/2 horsepower IHC International McCormick Deering Model M Throttle Governed Hit N Miss Style Flywheel engine. Some people just call it a horse and a half. We disassembled the engine so we could remove the cylinder sleeve. The cylinder was so badly worn that the piston-to-wall clearance was so excessive that the engine had little to no compression. We then machined the cylinder sleeve for another sleeve. We then pressed the new cylinder sleeve into the main original cylinder sleeve so that we could bore and hone the cylinder to achieve a tighter piston-to-wall clearance. We also disassembled and rebuilt the Wico EK high tension magneto. We performed a valve job and surface on the cylinder head and replaced the valve guides as well as the valves. We then reassembled the engine with new gaskets and fired her up. This engine is actually throttle governed but it looks pretty much like any other flywheel engine which are often referred to as hit n miss engines. These old antique engines were used back in the day to run many different kinds of equipment such as grist mills, saw mills, shafts for powering and driving equipment, corn shellers, and water pumps just to name a few. Antique throttle governed and hit n miss engines were commonly used for powering equipment before electricity became a common household item.
