  • Also just wondering what you did about the compression ratio? I have got my open crank Tecumseh running quite well now, however it can be a bit temperamental. I have lowered the compression ratio significantly, I'm just wondering if thats my problem

  • what are hit and miss engines used for?

  • nice job

  • Nice work! Youve got me curious, so I have to ask what motivated you to alter this engine into a hit and miss. A challenge, a bet, challenge your mechanical enginuity skills. Whatever it was good work!

  • That is a work of art - really nice.

  • Can you send me some plans? This is so awesome I want to do it with a 3.5hp Briggs!

  • How did you attach the cylinder oiler to the block. I'm doing this with a 3 HP tecumseh but the block to too thin to drill and tap.

  • looks like it makes all of 1hp now, heh.

  • i have a 5 k321 kohler engines could you send me some plans

  • Great vid :)

    You are braver than me, getting that close to it with a rag, while it is running!

    I have thought of doing this with Briggs lawnmower engine, but not really a true hit and miss like this one is. Nice job!

  • i have a un finished one of these with a briggs 3.5hp maby i should finish it now that i know it can be done

  • OMG AWESOME! I want to build one with my 4hp briggs.

  • That is really nice. What are you using to lube the rod, gears,etc?

  • @cambriacity The piston is oiled with a drip oiler, the rod bearing and crank mains have grease cups, and the open gears are just oiled with an oil can, everything just like an original hit and miss engine.

  • Thanks for replying. It nice to see folks still take time to build stuff like this. Truly, a job well done!

    Damian

  • i love the sound of a hit and miss
