Hi Bob:
I was procrastinating about resurrecting some old McCoy .19 and .29 engines back to their former glory. I have some old "new" McCoy engine, rear intake Sportsman?, engines that I was hoping to get running just for old times sake. I think that these engines dated about 1948-49. I would really enjoy hearing them run. Placed in a period correct OTS plane, they would be that cat's pajamas!
I have had some of these engines that are "new" but the rings are so poorly fitted, I can not get the engines to run. A McCoy .098 really broke my heart as a youth!
Take care,
Frank McCune
