Video and slide show showing the unrestoration of a 5 HP Weber gasoline engine made in Kansas City, Mo. at the turn of the century.  It did run, but was painted "fire engine" red, was not complete and most of the significant "bits" were severely cobbled or missing.  Many parts such as the carburetor, ignitor, magneto, hot tube assembly and fuel pump had to be made from sample parts borrowed from other collectors.  Bought in 2006, it was restored in 2007 by myself. The Video was taken at the "Pageant of Steam" show in Canandaigua, NY 2007
