DMC Sandow 4hp, Owner Gary Kmiecik from Wisconsin.

This is just how the engine was when gary purchased it, notice the oil line for the
lower end connecting rod is connected to the mixer and not a oiler. Not a good idea.

DMC Sandow 2.5hp

The fuel reservoir and injector is missing on this engine and someone has
put the check valve throttle body in its place. The check valve throttle body
should be on the opposite side of the cylinder down on the crank case.

Low pressure fuel reservoir-injectors, carburetors and mixers
that were used on DMC marine engine's per original literature.

The two piece Automatic fuel feeder-injector (patent # 926,892) was designed by John Peterson and Frederick O. Peterson patented on July 6, 1909 manufactured by Ben J. MiddleDitch for Detroit Engine Works. It appears that this fuel injector was produced a number of years before being patented in 1909. A Detroit engine catalog dated 1907,1908 shows this same fuel feeder-injector with a different style ribbed fuel reservoir cap, see photo's below.
