I have seen exactly one of these Eli engines, and that was more than fifty years ago. One of the Shellabarger Brothers was showing one at Mt. Pleasant and it was a nice original engine. Being a two-stroke engine, it would run either direction, and Mr. Shellabarger demonstrated reversing it for me. His engine was for sale, and at a reasonable price, but I was a kid without money at that time. Oh Well. Engine prices are so high now that I wouldn't buy it today, either. Thank Goodness for YouTube videos.
