Thanks Guys. Chuck Economic Motor Co. built These under the Hopkins patents Nick I had no plans just a good picture. I am not sure how the original one worked .The one I built has a normal exhaust cycle with popit valve. The intake valve is atmospheric popit. On the intake stroke it sucks air and gas for about 1 to 2 inches of the stroke and then the plug fires and the rest of the stroke is the power stroke. The fuel is propane and leaves a glue like substance in the cylinder which sticks the intake valve over night. :doh: Tom |
