Wow :bugeye:
This was something... :clap: :clap:
Very nice build :thumbup:

A very nice looking and sounding engine, now that you've ironed out the bits, putting a piece of wire mesh in the jar will stop splashes from being sucked up, and a broad, shallow jar makes for more even mixtures as the fuel is used. Very nice and fun to watch. :bugeye: :bow: :beer: Cheers, mad jack

Hi Chuck,
I might have missed it, but how are you lubricating the cylinders on the IC twin when using the vapor carb?

I have a multi-cylinder I recently completed that had similar running issues using propane. They have all been worked out, but load does play a small part. Nice engine. Generators seem the only practical variable load for models engines. I have done a few and they work well. What are you thinking for load on this one?

Hi Jeff, sorry I didn't notice this until just now.

I mix WD40 with the fuel in the vapor fuel tank and it seems to get sucked up with the fuel. I've lubricated several engines this way and when I disassemble them, there is plenty of lubricant in the cylinder.

You want to put it under a load. :bang: Make a Dynamometer and hook it to it. Adjust just how much load you would like to have. :beer:
