I think the Grffon Spitfire is the most beautiful of all especially in the PR19 mark with its clean lines and long shark like nose ! And that sound 'the growl of the griffon' an angry beast of an engine!
Forgot to do the heating of cylinders on startup with the flames, then timing was retarded, that engine didnt even start to run good on whole video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-n5V8uToqf4M.html Thats how it should run
At 9:37 when engine is warm, running smooth at slowest speed, press space bar to freeze frame. Then press (.) to advance one frame at a time to see firing order. Press (,) to reverse.
Hey, thanks for that, I never knew you could do that with RU-vid, what a dummy I am. This channel gives simulations for many engines that exist and many that are theoretical. www.youtube.com/@WilliamMoser
The stub exhaust pipes used in the fighters were called ejectors and were carefully designed to maximise that thrust. In Bombers, etc this thrust was swapped for lower visibility with various schemes to minimise the light given off by the exhaust gases and the ejectors themselves R-R cited this exhaust thrust as one of the reasons for not using turbochargers.
When you're cranking the engine and it won't start your load up the Engine with fuel. All that fuel is washing the cylinders of the engine. That's a bad thing! It increases the the engine where rapidly.. Check and make sure you're getting spark to all the cylinders. If it's not that, then it will be poor fuel distribution to some of the cylinders. That's not good on the engine!
@@emersoncaicedo3146T's just the basic functioning of an internal combustion engine. It can happen with a car engine as well. You don't need to be an expert pilot or even a pilot to know about fuel flooding. I don't think we can say for sure what caused this long start up but flooding is a reasonable and very likely assumption
@@dawsonbruno3581 Funny that the poster who.gave me a like didn't bother correcting me, only you?? 🤔 You just gotta love those "pedantic Nazis" who's sole purpose in life is to destroy a sentiment - don't you? 🤔🙄
As others have said, a Griffon, it is easy to tell (apart from the Spitfire Mark), by the bulges in the front top of the engine cowling to make room for the cam rocker covers, the firing order is different to the Merlin, and thus it sounds quite different. Also it turns in the opposite direction and thus so too does the propeller.
@Strawberry7Lynn Hmmm? The Southern Rly pioneered the use of concrete in many areas of construction (I believe Pinhoe Sta was the 1st 'concrete sectional sta' - someone may correct me here).
