Starting a Hot tube Hit-n-miss

Them flywheels look like they'd break an arm if you're not careful.

Man that baby's got some compression!!! Wow

I stand corrected! It is indeed, a 2 stroke. My dad is the expert, not me.

This is not a hit and miss. It is a 2 cycle and will hit every stroke if tuned properly. If you notice it has a crosshead so the rod does not connect to the piston.

Is this a 2-stroke or 4-stroke engine ?

[SynthD00D]

I believe the hot tube engines are 4-stroke. The hot tube serves in place of a spark plug. The hot tube alone is not enough to ignite the mixture, but the heating from the compression stroke plus the hot tube puts it over the top.

@SynthD00D most glow engines are 2 cycle

@robinhooodvsyou Defenately a 2 stroke!
