"The Little Wonder" four stroke model gas engine

[ballybrittasvintage]

this model engine is the nicest model engine i ever seen

[richardlyew]

WOW i would love to have one of these for my HHO experiments. CHEERS FROM JAMAICA

[bwrodczek]

is das normal so mit der fetten Zündspule? Hat das Teil nen Unterbrecher oder wie genau geht das?

[Tinsby]

Very nice work, I am assuming you built it yourself? I was expecting to see a hit or miss engine but this one is running too fast to ever be one of them. Runs on petrol I presume?

Cheers from the USA!

[tnphysics]

so how many hp?

[aaronzack14]

so is that tank on top for coolant?

[scbjgs]

[hammurderer]

i wish someone would film these with a high speed camera

[KingSlimjeezy]

looks like the oil is to hot

[PKMotoren]

WOW!Very nice engine!!!!!

[OBIWANTED]

looks like a banging rabbit:)

[oOoxelAoOo]

That's a nice little engine :)

[SthealthRaider]

how does it time the ignition?

[oOoxelAoOo]

@SthealthRaider At about 1:37 you can see a little gear assembly and push-rod on the left hand flywheel that presumably operates the valves.

[alfredorss]

this stuff is awesome, 5 stars

[cyldon]

hello Alex can you give me details of the ignition conversion as i want to do the same to my little wonder

thanks Trevor

[825900]

What fuel do you use? Do you have any details of the spark ignition conversion?

[ihelk]

why does it have 2 fly wheels?

[Alexgrosy]

the flywheels are made out of aluminim alloy, one would be too light!

[ihelk]

ah. ok thanks for the info! :) great job

[steamwally]

Most engines of this design, like the stover, had two flywheels, it's good for smooth running.

[Renatodonadio]

@ihelk Maybe the original idea was to ensure compatibility with appliances that turned both clockwise and anti clockwise

[zakyboi123]

@ihelk if you look at alot of other engines of this type, they all normally have 2!

[sheik480]

Clever cooling system. How well does it keep the engine temp in check?

[AxisHome1]

Is this the hit and miss engine they have on the adverts in old glory and the dorset steam fair giude?

[Alexgrosy]

No probably not. It's throttle governed, no hit and miss and I have not seen it yet on any adverts.

[AxisHome1]

oh ok lol

[superfunnyman123]

so that is water in the hopper there?

[Alexgrosy]

yes that's right. The white thing floating on the water is some oil. I usually add a shot of WD40 into the hopper after running the engine to prevent rusting of the cast iron liner.

[unluckykid256932]

Hopper?

[MrRunescapeGuides]

do you use a spark plug in this?

[Alexgrosy]

yes!
