Another version of how not to build a model engine

No strobe light or any other measuring devices were used. First I adjusted the spark timing just by listening the engine(just as I did before).

Then was camshaft adjustment. It was made by the same procedure.

Next I probably have to make a wooden base, as the engine has kept my machining vise occupied ::).

New version of the engine? It's possible, but can't say yet about that.

Just wondered what the red flashing light in the vid was, or was that getting the speed?

Flashing red light came from the camera. I just wonder what its purpose is :scratch:.

The light looked blue to me, but that doesn't matter. I think it's to remove "red eye" from humans in the picture, but on a video? Maybe for focusing?

By the way S, nice running engine. Starting to sound like a nice Swiss watch ticking away. :thumbup:

We are definitely going to have to give you an A++ for dedication and determination. A lot would have given up or put it aside by now but every day you kept trying something new. Watching it run now you have a very sweet running engine. If you decide to build another one I can only imagine how much sweeter it would be after having learned so much from this one. Thanks for letting us look over your shoulder as you built this one. :ddb: :ddb:

Cheers :beer:
