Think that was the one that was designed run on all kinds of fuel including finely ground coal dust mixed with water.

One of the reasons I like state and county fairs is to watch and listen to those old engines run!

I have a 1916 3HP Fairbanks-Morse "oil engine" It was designed to run on Kerosene but start on Gasoline. I run gas in it since the compression has dropped a bit in 96 years. It sounds much like this one when running. It's governed at 450 RPM and weighs about 450 lbs.
