  (Detroit Engine Works 2.5 hp)

Owner: Heller Davis from Davenport, Florida.  My Dad found this engine in Lake Alfred Florida. The City of Lake Alfred used the engine to run a water pump that pumped water up to the cities water tower. Engine was manufactured in Detroit Michigan sometime between 1905-1910.  This engine has the serial number (107) stamped on the face of the flywheel. See the Detroit literature pages for locations of serial numbers.  One of the first low pressure fuel injection engines made. 
Sold new for $147.00 in (1908).  Restored by Heller Davis.

Detroit 3hp, Owner: Arnie Fero from Pittsburg, PA. The two single oilers on this engine appear to be original along with the wood skids and box. Original Detroit literature show that the the two single oilers were on the very early model engines before they come out with the one piece duel oiler. Also the cast iron governor arm and the wooden battery box is a sign of a early built engine. Later model engines had thin stamped out steal governor arms and no wooden battery box.

(Detroit Engine Works 3 hp) single cylinder 2 cycle fuel injection.

I purchased this engine from a fellow collector at the Florida Flywheelers show.  Photo on the bottom left shows what engine parts I had to work with when I purchased the engine. As you can see the engine was not restored,  missing the spark advance arm and most all the governor parts. No double drip oiler. No muffler. The engine is now fully restored. We located a spark advance arm from another collector but had to reproduce the governor parts. This is one of the very first fuel injection type engines. Injection system pressurized from the crank case pressure. Manufactured some time between 1905-1910.

Engine restored by John Davis & Heller Davis.

Sand blasting done, Crank case has some porosity & casting slag normal for these old engines. Crankshaft has been ground & new centrifugal lubrication ring disk machined for lower con rod journals.  All new Babbitt bearings poured for the mains & lower con rods. Cylinders have been bored & new Clevite cast iron sleeves installed. Pistons grooves faced & resized with new rings. New wrist pins & bushings for piston & upper con rods.  This engine had been worked very hard in its time most everything was worn out. However it will be better then new when my Dad and I get finished with it. More photos to come soon.

All the main parts of the engine have been rebuilt and assembled. The engine turns over really smooth & easy. A lot of attention was put into the alignment & machining of the main bearings also the alignment & machining of the connecting rod bearings. 

We are now working on the governor linkage for the air intake. New valve guides were made for the air intake manifold and valve stems were trued. The brass air intake valve lift regulator on top of the manifold had to have the center hole bushed & the pin trued. A new brass governor lever shoe had to be made the old one was worn out. Governor linkage appears to have one incorrect clevis & a few worn out holes & pins that need to be fixed also. The governor linkage & the mechanical parts on the air intake manifold must all work smooth and fairly easy in order for the engine to run correct.

I just finished machining and reproducing the muffler for the Detroit 18hp twin. I would have liked to have had an original Detroit muffler but they are more difficult to find then the engines. This is pretty much an exact copy of the original Detroit muffler including all the internal baffles & parts.

Here are a few parts that I reproduced on my lathe and mill. Governor time collar with phenolic ring and contact. The old governor time collar had a cracked keyway and appeared to be broached on a angle.   Brass part is the governor lever shoe. The old one was worn half into. I also reproduced the timer lever arm, the old lever was just a rod with a wooden handle someone put on it.
