Perfectly normal smokey, oily radial engine start. It's because oil drains into the lower cylinders while the engine's not runnning. And yes, like all air-cooled engines it will get hot quickly without either a prop or a fan blasting air over it.
Hello. I have a 9cy lycoming r-680 and it was on a 30ft tower for a wind machine. It had a 100" prop on it. I put it on a trailer and was going to start it without a prop just
for a minute or two. Someone said that I would wreck the engine if I ran without a prop. Is this true? Thanks Mike.
Are those delorean wheels?

It will be fine. Just keep the rpm's low and don't run it long. Check the cylinders for how hot they are getting.

Put a propeller on that damn thing so you can run it for more than 10 seconds at a time. It needs cooling.

Maybe you should put the exhaust on the other side?

Are those wheels from a late 80's Lincoln?

@nibbler125 Not all radials were airplane motors.

wtf why you sold it? that was stupid.
i have an old kettcar with an lawnmover engine on it. but i never installed an transmission. and i never get so much smoke out of it.
but i had an exhaust pipe on it wihtout any noise reducing devices. so it sound like an chopper.
why this thing push so much smoke out of it?
