I found some old plans for your engine in an old magazine! It has an ad where it is called the "he-man" engine. In the meantime I finally finished up the 1936 Midget engine I've been working on for several years!
Keep working on your engine to get it running! All of my engines take a while to get running. I have to re-make some parts. Adjust the spark. Make sure you are getting at least 3 volts to the spark plug. Use some more batteries. You can test run it with a Nitro engine Glow plug and some RC "Glow" fuel (methanol) Buy these at a hobby shop. Keep Trying, you will get it, and it will be a happy moment when it runs.
What is your next project engine? Or are you making the same engine again? I built the Wall "Water Witch" A good 10cc four stroke design, good plans from The October 1946 issue of Popular Mechanics Magazine. The published plans are small ( you will need a magnifying glass) but they are accurate, and the engine runs well.
If you go to the youtube video "Atkinson Differential Model Engine" The very first still picture when the video opens is my simple four stroke from the Magazine Plans.
It has a 1" bore and 3/4" stroke. I used two home made cast iron piston rings.
I up loaded a short video of my engine running. "Model Engine Water Witch Gas". It was taken just when I first got it running. Kind of rough but you will get the Idea. I am going to attempt to build the "Simple Four Stroke" as I now call it. Building it in Solid Works CAD, and making some improvements,(hopefully)
Very nicely built engine! I have the plans for this engine also. I think they came from an old magazine article. I am converting them to Solid Works CAD before I attempt a build.
I see some problems with the plans but I believe that the engine can be made to run.
Are you familiar with the "Trimble" method for making model piston rings?

i tuned them up out of castiron i first boared it out then cut the solid rod right down the middle and then crushed it in my 4 jaw and then turrned it to the size of the cylinder and parted it of it had good compreshon just to many other probs with the plans i did not find them all until i was almost done just bogey plans. i have now got plans good plans for a 4cylinder i am bilding

You probably need more flywheel mass. That's the one thing that doesn't scale down very well. Looks very nice, can't wait to see it run!

With this engine you could run a generator large enough to power a flashlight bulb

thank u for your inspiration i will not give up the other day i was trying to run it and i broke the crank shaft .
that is a good idea of using the glow plug i will try that
thanku
