Great question. The counterbalanced crank reduces how much the engine moves in the mounts, resulting in less wasted energy and smoother running. At least that's how I understood it.
Thank you everyone for the replies. There are a few more developments to this story, some of which I will be sharing at a later date. For those of you who are interested, here is the full episode on YouTube of our search for the Gopher Motor.
HO LEE ****!! "E" has one of those collections that I could spend days looking at. You found a diamond mine, and a gem of a guy!
Awesome video! This gentleman exemplifies the difference between a hoarder and a collector. He knows what he has and where it is, he has great stuff, well cared for, and accessible. He is a true collector.
