Scott flame licker build

John ( Bogs )
if it would not infringe the copyright on the plans can you give the nozzle size and the Venturi dimensions ,if it will then no problems
reason I ask I have a no.5 and no.8 both of which give a flame that is to large even with the valve just cracked I am using the polly/stuart gas pipe and adapter valve for the "go gas cans "

Stuart,
By the nozzle, if you mean the rose, it is the same diameter as the internal size of the copper pipe fitting. The plans actually call for 16 X 1/16" holes, but on the plan drawing, it shows 19 holes, one in the midlle, step out 3/32", then a ring of 6, step out 3/32" again and a ring of 12. I made the 19 hole one.
The jet is a #5, and the venturi is made with a standard centre drill that has a 1/8" drill point, going thru a piece of brass bar the same diameter as the internal of the copper tube and is 5/16" long. The four air holes in the 15mm copper tube are 7/32" diameter.

Now there's an image I really didn't need to visualize.

Warts and all on here Marv :lol:
Just for a little bit of interest, here are a few pics of this engine, built in the 1990's. It looks like that the build was done exactly to plans, almost. The crankdisk has a different shape.
Just so that you can visualise the general layout.
Looking at it, I think I might knock myself up a shorter gas tank, as the one I have is too long. But I do have a couple more copper based ones somewhere, one of those might fit the bill a little better.
The plans contain all the information if you need to make one yourself.
The linkage to the flame control valve.
A close up of where the burner sits and how the graphite block seems to sit in the burner flame almost permanently. I think I will have to knock up a few spares as I expect they will get burnt away.
It also looks like they have reduced the top to bottom height of the block, I will have to look if that is required when I get mine to a running stage.
Just by looking at other peoples builds can give clues to little problems that might need fixing before it will run correctly.
