This is on a Fairbanks-Morse 18 KW genset - Model B15A-204. It was bought new around 1960 and was the backup electric unit in our local school.

When I bought it the valves were stuck. I pulled head, fixed the valves, put a new head gasket and it's now basically a new machine. It has a distributor ignition - Prestolite 1BT 4501A , takes a NAPA - Victor #1634 head-gasket, and I had to buy a couple of exhaust valves part #s 211-1473 and listed for an F162. Carburetor has an electric choke - which I guess is needed for the autostart function.
