Chinese Hit & Miss Gas Model Engine 

Very nice !! Cool engine. Are you still using the canon camera ?

He's gonna get a steam engine, and he won't miss ya

hit or miss, i guess they never miss.

You should build your own engine from scratch!

That engine runs way too fast, you can hear the governor slapping and the governor is being very random. Might need some adjusting.

Needs the springs on governor tweaking to bring the speed down.

*Engine stars* I guess they never miss huh?

Nice, it runs much better with some load applied. A follow up video of it running something would be cool. 👍😊

You could also use Gas Gasoline Petrol Random word for gasoline #4

Put some weaker springs on the centrifugal weights and it will slow the idle down and make it run more like a traditional hit and miss. Better than I expected from China, cool video.

Zippo fluid is just naptha but marked up. It's cheaper to just buy it in the paint thinner section.

need to put a little motor on with a tiny heater coil on it as a generator to keep it under load so it runs real nice, the hit and miss is basicly just a rev limiter, like any motor is a hit and miss when its floating the valves at 7k or the rev limiter is cutting spark, one lungers just do it mechanically and their idle is at the rev limiter, they just try to maintain a set rpm that the governor is set for

Cool little engine my wife’s Grandfather was a Steam Engineer and when he retired he used to make wooden toys and fit similar sized engines in them ! After his passing we we had them passed on to us my personal favorite was a tugboat with a steam engine that ran off canned Map gas firing a hand built boiler he made out of copper he was a brilliant Craftsman and even volunteered to run the Wood shop at his retirement community where they built many whirlybird Lawn ornaments that they displayed through out the community i was also fortunate to have a good relationship with the man and inherited some of his tools that i still treasure to this day

A shortcut you might find useful: a weak solution of sodium hydroxide in water will take colored anodizing right off. You just have to pay close attention, because it'll also take aluminum right off.

Sweet!

That engine is gorgeous. Too bad it's so expensive. Still, a work of art and human ingenuity.

You could also add a Watt governor to make the speed more stable... But the make-difference alternative would be to do some telephone-charger that you could start from the middle of Siberia, Patagonia, or Alaska. ¡You could sell zillions of them!

Cool! I like it better running slower. I wonder if making the governor springs lighter would let it run slower while still hitting and missing.

Can you adjust the RPM? It is way to fast for a hit and miss.

The nut for the spark plug wire is actually just a brass insert

Add a generator and Li-ion cells to it :) Also add 5v USB converter! That will be awesome.. "Gasoline powred phone charger with powerbank function.." Like if u agree!

Great little engine! Nice finish work for tank and mounting!

EPA be like: you need a catalyst for this engine

because its about a thousand times less heavy than an actual hit and miss engine, the flywheels dont have the inertia to keep chugging like the 100 year old 50hp engines

This shit never gets old dude! I love your content

Now i need to look up Hit and miss engines

Thanks JohnnyQ90, really love your videos. It seems to run much better wit some loading so just wondering if you attached a belt driven motor as a generator then could you generate enough electricity to power the engine once it's started?

You should really make a tiny dynamo so you can output test these things.

Now remove the brake and see how fast it'l go!

make a mini generator with the engine :D i love your incredible videos!

Hoping you hack it next video to make it run smoother, and power an electric generator of some sort!

A belt on one flywheel could drive a bicycle generator to charge a battery.

Congratulations, another incredible video. Leandro Wagner.

With the aluminum tank and the copper strap around it. Aren't you creating electrolysis and inviting corrosion?

Hit & miss, I guess they never miss, huh

Would be cool to see if you can take the 12v motor add it as dynamo here and build a minigenerator.

Coming from a person who has machined the same design this appears to be a copy of the HMM1 design by David kerzel. Which the plans are free for online.

title is wrong a Model Engine doesn't run, a miniature engine runs but is small.

Hit or miss I guess they never miss huh?

I guess they never miss huh

You could hook a mini generator up to it.

Why is he so good with metals like damn good

Hit & Miss sounds appropriate for a Chinese engine lol

Is that a centrifugal clutch on the outer wheel? If so, what's its purpose? What is it clutching? There is no output device.

Wow, its not even that expensive :o

that engine would be perfect for a tiny train

2:31 the lower thrust bearing needs a tune up

Need to hook that little engine up to a small 12~vdc generator...is the crankshaft using babbit bearings or roller bearings?

Oh my ... under load that engine sounds so beautiful. Great video. Is it loud at all... as in is the video muted much or is that how it sounded IRL?

Hey man, really like your machinist videos and cool projects:) I was curious if you've really torn into this thing. Like seen if it uses like needle bearings, ball bearings, or just bearing surfaces. I tried contacting Bangood's customer support to ask if they sell replacement parts, and it was of no help to me... I see there are upgraded models coming out now. It just looks like such a cool engine to run for fun! It admittedly looks beautifully machined and well built Thanks!

Focus you fack!

Such a cool little engine. As mentioned, it might be nice if you modded the springs to make it run a bit slower. And you're a machinist/fabricator; make up a pulley and belt drive a little hobby electric motor and make it generate some juice to light a light bulb. (Could recharge it's own ignition batt. too...) Being that it runs at a constant speed more or less, it's ideal for a generator app. Thanks.

Hit or miss

It definitely needs weaker governor springs, or tinker with the springs it has to slow it down. It's cringe-worthy going that fast, and it's going to tear itself apart. Slowing it down can be done, it's quite easy. Right here on RU-vid there are hit and miss engines half the size of this one or smaller, running at a small fraction of the speed of this one.

why not hook up a cars lightmashine/generator up to it and see how much it manages to generate

But how does this engine take oil ? 🤔

Googd man you are the best From egypt ☺

Sounds like you should mess with the carbs a bit

You can make a car with this engine

Just a stupid question, what can you use this engine for?

I GUESS THEY NEVER MISS HUH

How effective would that be as a little power generator?

Cool video.. cool little engine .. kinda dissapoitned with your wood stand.. that this is horrific .. make a nice aluminum one

It only operated realistically with your finger on it. That is pretty cool. I have always wanted a full size one but they rarely come up for sale.

Can you make a mini turbo for a nitro engine

I like the little hit miss engine I have something similar to it I bought years ago I still have it and I enjoy it thank you for sharing that with me

Get some stronger governor springs. Here is what a model hit-n-miss should run like. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PtULHB-MQIQ.html (Go to about 3:30 to see it running.) Granted, Don's is a bit larger, but not much. steve

Not sure how it works ,but folks seem to be heading over to my Hit and Miss Engine explanation from your video . Thanks! Have you considered lightening up the governor springs and increasing the flywheel weight to slow the motor ? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fYKxwno6QUY.html

This is cool but why not put it to work like a fan or something.

my only comment is that the bar that goes from just behind the right side flywheel to underneath the spark plug appears to be hitting that toothed gear which is going to eventually cause problems.? look at the area at @0:19

Kinda amazing they even thought to make one of those a kit. Very nice.

You need something for it to run! I've looked at those Chinese engines but figured it would be a paper weight! They don't come with instructions do they? Cool video later 😎💨

Wouldn't it be cheaper to use Model Airplane fuel ? Cool Toy .

Ideal is set to high. The governor kicks in, and stalls the engine.

ÓTIMO MOTOR , BRASIL OK.

Lol the plans for this engine are from David kerzel and are free online and they were released on a non-profit basis copyright xD

I do see a miss for sure here ,....not the mach ....but you made a miss on your box-thingie. And a little tuning here and there will do no harm to the machine. OK we are not all designers, I do get that too ;-)

You should see what you can power with it!

Hi, great video, great machine. Do you need to add lubricating oil to the fuel?

That is just aweful. How is this a hit and miss engine. It revs its nuts off.

Very cool! Does it run a little smoother on gasoline? Lighter fluid is kinda TOO combustible for this little guy I would think. Its trying, but it just can't handle it! Oh man, TURBOCHARGE IT!!!

Guess I should have read the title

I have no idea, why I'm watching this :D

Everything from China is hit or miss!!

You should try to convert this to wood gas

Take off one govener spring to slow the engine right down

What causes it to have the hit and miss?

Also can be found on AliExpress.com , but shop around for best price & shipping.

seems like it works much better under load. I wonder if it'd be good enough for making a power tool like a belt grinder

Beautiful work, but can you slow it down? Runs WAY to fast for what it’s supposed to be.

So if you weaker springs in the ''clutch'' on the end of the crank it would run slower

I got the prints to that motor they where published by the original desinger a few years ago I guess some Chinese company decided to copy it

Really?? That cute engine was wrapped in that clumsy box. So unfair!

coooool, i want one:) now go and build a scale baker fan for it

Where can I get one of these? The link below seem not to work

Just curious as to why you got rid of anodization of the gas tank! It looked a lot better before!

It'd be cool to have model that that thing runs like a miniature Rock Crusher

How much power can it turn a belt?

You should make the flywheel slightly concave and put a flat belt on it
