Was the fly wheel from a singer sewing machine? if not sorry for the offence, just looks familiar,

[nrowland56]

Hi, I get asked that some. It does look familiar to an old sewing machine wheel, water valve or an old machinery hand wheel. It's actually cast with the counter weight & crankshaft in it from a pattern I made. After building quite a few engines I went with 3 spokes on this one, half as many as a usual flywheel. It saves time on filing & blending the parting line.

where could i find one of these or a kit! thanks cool video!

[nrowland56]

Hi Decoysk, I have a webpage link for them up in the video information. My e-mail & information is on there. You'll need at least a small lathe & mill to machine this kit.

thanks & glad you liked it,

no, he's right, it is a two stroke but it works different than a conventional two stroke as the crank case is open, but it can't be a four stroke either as there aren't any valves.

and by the way it has got a spark plug beneath the cylinder that you can't see

[viper76248]

its not a 2 cycle, it runs on gas fumes... and also, its fun to make from a kit

=)

[Cletrac]

It is definitely a 2 cycle engine.

[viper76248]

says you-- i dont think so- requires no oil- uses a diode thing instead of a spark plug... you know how i know this? because IM ALWAYS RIGHT MWAHAHA.... i have one too

[Cletrac]

"Diode thing"?? Sounds like you really know what you're talking about.

[viper76248]

that i do (NOT) but still, no spark or glow plug.

[Cletrac]

It has a spark plug and is fired by a model T Ford coil. The only thing you have been right about is the fact that it runs on gas fumes.

[grahamid403]

That deosn't mean it is a 2 stroker... It is also fired on a coil. So no, your not always right. MWAHAHAHA.

[nrowland56]

It's a 2 stroke engine, there's a spark plug on the bottom connected to the black wire in the video. (my camera doesn't take real good video)

[LeviMan2001]

does that have a throttle, or does it just go?

[douro20]

it's a two-stroke.

[cffellows]

I don't see any valves? How does it operate? Does it have a name or a model? Neat Engine.
