| Another version of how not to build a model engine |
| << < (30/41) > >> |

Nick, the engine ran out of gas, after that 30 minutes ::). It seems that the engine speed is low enough, so that it doesn't cause an overheating. Adding some cooling element(s) would be cool, but not quite yet... |
| sorveltaja:
To lower the idle speed, I increased the weight of the flywheel by adding smaller brass flywheel to it. Also a bit of fiddling was done with crankshaft camshaft timing. Result: Anyways, I consider that as a giant leap for mankind in this project, closer to goal :ddb:. |
| chuck foster:
now that's a big improvement :thumbup: :thumbup: chuck :wave: |
| NickG:
It's spot on now! Were you timing it with a strobe light or something there? What are your overall plans for this then S? Is it to dress this one up a bit or now you have the baseline are you going to start a new version? Well done :bow: :thumbup: Nick |
| John Hill:
Really nice result and it runs so well too! :thumbup: |
