I'm sending this on behalf of my grandfather who lives in rural North Dakota and, as such, does not have access to some of the resources I do here in Washington, DC. Unfortunately, I also have to work 2 jobs so I am appealing to some of you heavy machinery experts and buffs for information before I try to find time to hit the Library of Congress, et al. Grandpa has an Ottowa gas engine he is restoring. It is from 1915-1920 and is a 3 HP engine. It was made in Ottowa, Kansas. He would like to know what color it was painted (if at all) and what the structure and makeup of the carburetor (sp?) is. [I swear I looked that up in the dictionary and I'm pretty sure that's how it was spelled...] If you have any OTHER information, I'm sure he'd be more than happy to hear it. Thanks, in advance, for your help. Grandpa and I both appreciate it. :) Jennifer [log in to unmask]
