A hit-and-miss engine is a type of internal combustion engine that was commonly used in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly in rural areas of the United States. These engines were primarily used for powering small farm equipment, such as water pumps, generators, and grain mills.

The name "hit-and-miss" comes from the engine's unique operating cycle. Unlike modern internal combustion engines, which run continuously at a constant speed, hit-and-miss engines operate by firing (hitting) only when needed to maintain a certain speed or load. When the engine reaches a preset speed, a governor mechanism disengages the ignition system, allowing the engine to coast until the speed drops below the set threshold, at which point it fires again (misses). This intermittent firing pattern is what gives these engines their distinctive sound.

Hit-and-miss engines are characterized by their large flywheels, which help regulate the speed during the coasting phase, as well as their simple mechanical design. They typically run on gasoline or kerosene and are often single-cylinder, although multi-cylinder models also exist.

Although hit-and-miss engines have largely been replaced by more efficient and versatile internal combustion engines, they are still appreciated by collectors and hobbyists for their historical significance and nostalgic appeal.
