1915 Myrick Eclipse Oilfield Engine

Got this engine going today. Its a oilfield pumping engine built by Myrick Machine Co. Olean NY. Made about 1915. 4hp. It is a hot tube engine meaning no spark plug. Just a glowing hot tube that ignites the gas. Designed to run on natural gas from the oil well. It runs better if you choke the air intake down to about 1/2 an inch or so. You'll see in video. Enjoy.

I guess they don't get hot enough for the exhaust to smoke?
