Starting and running the engine from my Roy Cox "O-Sixty Special" tether car. This is a later, bigger and rarer version of the engine in the "O-Forty-Five Special" .045 vs. .060 cu. in. Cox made the change in response to complaints that the .045 was underpowered, so he made the engine 150% larger in displacement. The engine was disassembled, cleaned and reassembled before running. No changes were made otherwise. I welcome any information about the "Special" tether cars you wish to share. Thanks for watching.

Amazing to see this O-Sixty Special Running. This engine is a later version of the 1949 O-Forty-Five power Pak (Special Racer Car Engine - Manufactured in 1949) Well done! great video.

Sorry alilbigman, the engine came directly out of a L.M. Cox "O-Sixty Special" model car and went right back in after running. I sold the car on eBay to someone in Japan for $400. For more information, see "The Engine Collector's Journal" issue of Jan 2010. The Special was the first Cox gas engine-powered product in the late 1940's. In fact, to save time and money, LeRoy Cox bought the piston/head/cylinder combination from Mel Anderson, used in their Baby Spitfire engines. (Continued...)

@amenic1894 Glad you liked it. Sounds like you know your early Cox history. Did you see my other video of my "O-Forty-Five" engine running? BTW, I sold this engine, with its car in very good condition, on eBay to someone in Japan. I still have the "O-Forty-Five Special" car/engine, which I've treasured since it was given to me in the sixties.

(Continued from below...) The engine you see running here, as well as the one from my O-Forty Five Special, still have the original glow plugs with the word "Spitfire" engraved on them! I have hundreds of photos of my two "Specials", which I think I'll put together in a slide show and post here, so stay tuned!

Toasted 🙃 be sure to run em rich and with airflow as if the car was moving as intended. That whole thing has a ton of parts that are made only for this car.

Let me assure everyone here that: 1) The engine is a Cox/Mel Anderson .060 cu. in. engine from a Cox "Special" tether car. I had the car and took it out myself. 2) The engine did not seize after running, it still turned freely with good compression. The built-in fuel tank is small and that's as long as it will run on a full tank. In retrospect it would have been a good idea to run it with a prop, but it was a cool day and it's a tough little engine. As noted earlier, I sold the car on eBay to someone in Japan.

Hi Jose, Sorry, I hadn't checked my old RU-vid channel for a while. If you're still interested, I have some photos of the disassembled engine. Let me know if you still need them. Cheers, Dave

These particular engines had no throttle control. They ran wide open upon startup so the most you can do to slow them down is richen up the fuel mix.
@twincitiesdave

Correct, Nick. After this video, I re-installed the engine in the car and sold it on eBay to someone in Japan for $400.

This looks exactly like a 1948 Mel Anderson tether car engine not a Cox.

no gas no electrical? how this engine build up? I can't not search related videos in youtube

Unfortunately this engine was leaned out too much and overheated... When adjusting the needle valve very very little movements of 1 degree at a time must be made and not a 1/4 of a turn as shown...Slightly rich is much better on a Cox or any 2 stroke model engine...
@twincitiesdave
@twincitiesdave 6 лет назад
Perhaps, but it survived just fine. The fuel tank is inside the engine, so provides "liquid cooling".
@steze48
@steze48 3 года назад
@@twincitiesdave The head and cylinder were getting way too hot...Only cooling available is the air passing through the cooling fins when he car is moving...Anyway the engine was was way too lean...The right setting should be when the sound goes in and out of octives...

I don't think that's a good idea to run that engine without a load on it and no air flow. Should have run it with a propeller atatched to it.

As designed. Small fuel tank, short run time, internal fuel tank provides liquid cooling.
