Used my own to accomadate dimensions of this engine.

I don't have drawn plans for this engine,sorry.

Hi, on this engine I used four 9volt batteries hooked in series with a RadioShack 25-ohm, 3 watt Rheostat (part #271-0265). I've also wired it such that each cylinder can be activated independently so it can run on any combination of cylinders 1 through 4.

Thanks. Usually I use bearings purchased on Ebay from "Irvineman" in Aneheim CA. - ( 10 Flanged FR156ZZ 3/16"x 5/16"x 1/8" FR156Z inch Miniature Ball Ball Bearings ). On some engines I use the 1/8". On others I just use home made Brass bushings.

I did view your engines and like them very much. You have a wonderful collection.  Thank you for sharing.

[flyingtractors1]

Thank you. You are very preseptive and keenly aware. I appreciate your insight and complement.

Do you wind your own solenoids or use something off the shelf?

[cffellows]

What sort of power supply and speed control do you use?

Nice engine! What kind of bearings do you use?

Very nice engine. You are a really skilled kraftman! If you are interested on reciprocating engines look at my nickname: diegourbani.

Bravissimo!
