This is a seven cylinder model airplane engine manufactured by Technipower. I have never run this engine as it takes a special wiring harness for the 7 glo plugs and a special starter motor placed against the nose hub. I had the compression checked in each cylinder and was told that it is ready to run. The carburetor is on the back.
I putchassed it on EBAY about 4 yeass ago. It is just nice to look at.

As a decorative object, it is magnificent!
Thanks for your comments. These have become popular . One of the first raduals was the Burgess M5. I believe that tecnipower co started with a 5 cyl, then 7cyl and a 9 cyl. Now some fantastic engines are being made with CNC machines. A Youtube video I recently viewed was of a 16 cyl running.
I have to stop and love this... I have seen it a few times and it always makes me stop and have a look, but reading what you say each time! I think... man thing and move on but!... here I am again looking and reading. It's such a wonderful looking object....:-)
Thanks Inky:
I know how you feel . Same here. I saw a dual bank 18 cyl on youtube running.
Best Regards
COOL! radial head engine in miniture?
