Tuesday Torque: Invent A Cooler Carburetor!

The Hagan is one of the rarest and neatest gas engines.  They were made in Kentucky and are highly coveted by collectors.  The carburetor has a brass chain that runs down, around a sprocket, and back up again, dipping into gasoline at the lower part of its travel.  Air is drawn across the chain and then into the engine. You have heard of the secret carburetors that Ford or Chevy bought, just to keep them off the market, no doubt.  The Hagan is not one of them, but it is cool as can be.  This engine was posted more than four years ago when it was on display at Old Threshers in Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, and it has only had about 150 views.  I just made the first comment.  After you watch this video, click on the YouTube icon on the video's lower bar and show this YouTuber (Travis Benner) some love in a nice comment.
