Correcting alignment in the crank bearings, removing excessive material from the flywheel and using another lubricant for the "piston" reduced friction and wear to a minimum and it now runs even better =)
@demainfo I choose to use the optical version because regular microswitches tend to get slag on the breaker tips and stop working after a while. And a benificial side effect is that there is no mechanical slow down internally.
It's the same solenoid and other mechanical pards as in the other videos but with further improvments, ball bearings came from old computerfans and a floppy disk drive, solenoid is from a junked old cassette deck and the flywheel is from an old VCR, don't remember what brand or model..

(Eng) - Good Job! This Work in high Velocity with optical sensor!
My engine don´t work with high velocity because of low velocity of switches!

What kind of copier gave up the parts to make this motor? Did the solenoid come from the same machine?

No idea, but probably over 1500rpm at least.

How many RPMs was that doing?! Great job!
