Fuller & Johnson 15hp Model K Restoration

06/22/2024

This engine ran fine off the mag near rated speed but not so good when I slowed it down. I finally got around the making a set of Evac magnets for the Accurate B magneto. This involves using carefully arranged N52 Neodymium magnets with a new horseshoe conductor. Done right you can't even tell the new magnet is made from several pieces. End result is a massive increase in magnetism with a resultant increase in output! The engine now runs perfectly off the mag at 150rpm.

Have the 15K up at the 75th Rough & Tumble Engineers show. Ran for at least 8hrs today and didn't skip a beat.

Took the 15K over to a lovely show in Silk Hope NC last Saturday. Hopefully I can get it out to a few more this fall.

Hasn't run since early last November yet started on the first pull and runs great as ever.

After much delay the two seat handles have been installed on the tool box. They were patterned off of the originals on my 5hp DE portable which is lurking in the background.

Really enjoyed getting this engine out to its first show. It ran quite well and a lot of folks seemed to like watching it chug along.

Finally was able to get this engine out to its first show! Running great at the 100 Years of Progress show in Carthage Nort Carolina.

Working on getting it slowed down yet still running smoothly - a rather delicate task.
