Howdy guys. This is what I believe to be a McCormick-Deering 'LB'. Yes/ no ? Any help appreciated. The previous owner put new rings and valves in it. Starts and runs fine. What's it worth ? No serial plate. Bob

Well, I tried to upload a picture (which I have done several times before AND just recently on the 9n2n8n board, but doesn't seem to be workin here. I will try again.

Look on ebay under hit and miss engines. You can see a picture of one there probably. The LB has automatic valve oiler. You have to manually oil the LA. Worth $ 200 to 400 depending on condition.

Thanks. Still not sure about the 'hit and miss' thing.

LB and LA engines are not hit and miss. They are throttle goverened. Any engine having linkage to the carb is throttle goverened. On the LA LB engines this linkage is internal to the engine.
