"The Little Wonder" four stroke model gas engine

My newest engine from The Engineers Emporium, UK. One of the first runs still on methanol/oil mixture which is best for breaking in. Going to change to regular gasoline soon. Uses a homemade Buzzcoil as ignition source and a tiny Rimfire spark plug.
It has a fully working throttle governor and hopper water cooling.

why does it have 2 fly wheels?

[Alexgrosy]

the flywheels are made out of aluminim alloy, one would be too light!

[AxisHome1]

Is this the hit and miss engine they have on the adverts in old glory and the dorset steam fair giude?

[Alexgrosy]

No probably not. It's throttle governed, no hit and miss and I have not seen it yet on any adverts.

i wish someone would film these with a high speed camera

[cyldon]

thanks Trevor

[bwrodczek]

is das normal so mit der fetten Zündspule? Hat das Teil nen Unterbrecher oder wie genau geht das?

[zakyboi123]

@ihelk if you look at alot of other engines of this type, they all normally have 2!

[Tinsby]

Very nice work, I am assuming you built it yourself? I was expecting to see a hit or miss engine but this one is running too fast to ever be one of them. Runs on petrol I presume?

Cheers from the USA!

@ihelk Maybe the original idea was to ensure compatibility with appliances that turned both clockwise and anti clockwise

[tnphysics]

so how many hp?

[aaronzack14]
