Mr. Pete, I always add a couple very small drops of 2 stroke oil to the fuel for my model internal combustion engines. Just adds an extra bit of lubrication.
Very nice. Next time you run it on video, try putting a slight load on the engine with your finger on the flywheel, I'd love to see the governor respond to that. Thanks, Mr. Pete.
That appears to be a well made mini engine. Years ago I went to a lumberyard and they had a old single cylinder hit and miss engine that had flywheels that were 15 feet tall. A employee there told me it use to run on kerosene and they would wrap a rope around one of the flywheels and use a horse to pull on the rope to turn over the engine. That was appox 55 years ago the last time I saw it, so it probably has been scrapped by now.
Hello Lyle, like the beam engine, this little hit & miss engine is beautifully made and finished. Regardless of where it is made, it appears to be made with pride.
I remember when you could go to the store and buy reconditioned spark plugs and re-refined used oil. I also remember when you could buy engine rebuild kits for less than a $100.00. The kit had piston rings, rod and main bearings and a full gasket set.
Instead of the rosewood box you could install a generator on the base timbers. In that way you could charge your battery while the motor is running. The rosewood box could installed on a separate cart like those used for starting aiplane engines.
That's how it works. It only has ignition when it's running under a certain RPM. The "hit" is the combustion, which raises RPM, followed by slowing down, no combustion in the chamber ("miss") . When it slows down enough, on the next cycle you get another "hit". Because ignition happens only at a certain point in the cycle, the interval between explosions might not be always the same. It might get to the hit speed just after the ignition point or just before and so on.
Might also be affected by component's precision, lubrication, temperature and so on... Quite often, the governors running this mechanism are not that smooth... I think this is quite visible in this example.
@@aerogfsthank you. I did not realize that a power stroke did not follow every compression stroke. They should add a compression release so it would freewheel longer.😊
a little too pricey for me but that's a pretty cool little engine even and an even cooler little torque wrench and tiny spark plug please be careful and rinse your syringe out good i would like to see more videos from you in the future
@@TravisSteamburns Right at the start of Mr Pete's videos he has an ornate banner with the Title, Production number and other info. The reference you are enquiring about features on there. I think it us on all his recent videos. I would send you a screenshot but UT doesn't allow that.
Excerpt from Genesis 4:22 Lamech married two women, one named Adah and the other Zillah. Adah gave birth to Jabal; he was the father of those who live in tents and raise livestock. His brother’s name was Jubal; he was the father of all who play stringed instruments and pipes. Zillah also had a son, Tubal-Cain, who forged all kinds of tools out of bronze and iron.
What a great little working model and I see you could even run a flat belt to drive something ! I have a friend who had a real engine like this driving a Icecream Maker every year like clock work he gets it out .
The older I get the lighter I like my hobbies to be😂 I have always been a fan of hit or miss engines and this little model seems quite faithful to the design. Love it! If I had one I'd have to build small implements for it to power! Thanks for sharing!
looks like fun, could watch it run for hours. wonder if you could hook up a dynamo up to it and charge the USB on the battery from the power of the engine. Happy Saturday!
as a serious model engineer i havent thought that you support those chinese made models ! every serious modeller stays away from those modells ! Mr pete , i know you are a serious model engineer and you did a lot for the community, especialy the stuart build books are valuable , but those modells , in my honest opinion run good but are poorly made
I'd love to have one, well really two for the grandsons, but the price is above my budget. I am impressed with the precision of the casting and parts. Thanks for the video.
My father had one sitting to the side after he got a new electric well pump. Wish I knew what the hell it was and it's value before it disappeared in the way back machine circa 1970's
