18hp Olds Type G Hit and Miss Engine 

These are more comparable to small engines, not a car/truck engine like the LS

@@mitchwest6453 lmao that things bigger than a car 💀

Poetry in motion

Agree Kevin would like to see these engine's doing work.

I get busy during the show and don't always have time to make videos but there are a bunch of great videos from this year's show over at Will Smith's channel. ru-vid.comvideos

Helps that the guy is built like a Brick Shi*house as well

I agree and I have done just. Last year I took this 18hp and my 12hp Olds gearless to a show and it was nice just sitting there while they ran for the three day show.

what about chainsaws, weed eaters, quads, motorbikes etc??

@@heathwak3030don’t need em

VA.?

Yes, the show will be in Berryville, Virginia July 23-25.

Check out SVSGEA.org for show info.

@@HeavyMetalEngines -- Great Oregon Steam-up started this weekend as well. It's two weekend's in a row. I work in the Blacksmith shop during Steam-up but I'm starting to get into engines now as well, LOL. Nice engine you have !!

They might be slow engines but the torque is insane

It runs on gasoline.

No such thing as a stupid question. There is only stupid answers. Never stop being curious👍

You should come visit the show, July 23-25. Visit the clubs websites for location info www.SVSGEA.org

@@HeavyMetalEngines If you are bringing some engines i will have to take you up on that if I can take some videos !!!

I’ll be bringing both engines seen in this video. Olds is the featured engine and there will be several rare ones there. I get so busy during the show I forget to make videos so it would be great if you can come.

@@HeavyMetalEngines Will see you friday !! Thank you

Yes, when under load it would hit every other revolution to try to maintain the RPM. This is a four cycle engine with an interrupted exhaust cycle. When the engine is at the RPM that the flyball governor is set to it will lock open the exhaust valve which keeps the engine from performing an intake stroke. When the RPM drops the governor linkage releases the latch out and it goes through the four cycles until at the proper RPM. The huffing and puffing air noise you hear is the air going in and out of the muffler when the exhaust is latched open.

I don’t own an Ajax but there is a guy that brings a large one to a local show coming up. If it’s there I’ll get you a video.

It would’ve had a pulley bolted onto the side of the flywheel and a flat belt would have ran off of that pulley to the load.

This video of another one of my Olds engines shows a clutch flat belt pulley. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-d3AvlMMJtj8.html

I did not build the cart. The cart is an original Bettendorf cart that just happened to fit perfectly under the engine with no modifications.

@@HeavyMetalEngines damn. Was hoping you built it .. im torn on how im going to do my spendles. Thanks though! Got you a sharp setup there

These are four cycle engines. When the rpm is at the set speed it holds the exhaust valve open and coasts. With the exhaust open there is no intake stroke. When under a load it would fire every fourth stroke or two revelations of the flywheels to maintain the rpm that the governor is set at. Does that make sense? It doesn’t use a butterfly valve like a modern throttling engine but instead uses a delayed exhaust stroke by latching the exhaust valve open.

@@HeavyMetalEngines Yes, so it does fire more often.

There’s nothing wrong with standing on the flywheel if you know what you’re doing. It wasn’t even close to where it would fire off. I was going on a backstroke and it wouldn’t have fired if I wouldn’t of tripped the igniter. I’ve been doing it for 30 years so I think I know how to start a big engine. Some of my engines are so big there’s no other way to get the flywheel started without putting a foot on it. The key is to just putting your toes on it so if it does fire your foot slips off and away from it.
