1998.014Description
Gray Marine Engine Gray Motor Company of Detroit, MI marine engines were designed "to operate on either gasoline or kerosene; it cannot backfire, it burns the fuel cleanly with practically no carbon, soot, smoke or odor and lubrication troubles are unheard of in the Gray." One source suggested the enngines were designed to lubricate through the gasoline - 1 pint to 5 gallons gas. Model U is displayed. Interesting for these small engines because it is an overhead valve engine. It has a water pump drive by right angle gear set which is unusual. Also a disappearing crank handle is featured on the flywheel.Collection
