  4. Maybe something for an old stationary engine? Tha bob weight thingie looks like part of a governor. That gnarly wiring makes me wonder if those two dash-pot looking thingies are actually solenoids! First "feed-back"carb?? WEIRD [​IMG]

    One lung make and break engine. Solenoids gave it a gas shot when needed, acted as on-off switch.
    Might be as valuable as the Strombergs to a 1 lung collector.
