<HTML>The reason gas engines took so long to develop was that the early engines were controlled by timing and mixture/fuel,,,,can you imagine the backfireand noise,,,,,The THROTTLE was the LAST part of the invention to make it a success,,,try finding that one,,,I spent much of a winter to get to understand that one,,,,,Now dont forget Morley tried to sell his internal combustion engine to the Baltimore & Ohio RR around 1835,,,It was a LIQUID fuel engine !!!! before Drakes well,,,I 'LL let U guys find that one,, Yes he did build a wagon,,,,,,clue,,,its mentioned in Duryea's papers,,,as he gives credit to Morley for inventing the CARBURETOR,,,,,NOT the Germans,,,Cheers Ben</HTML>
