Zero-Six

A Hit and Miss engine that I built from plans by Dario Brisighella in Model Engine Builder magazine.It's a nice little engine that runs equally well on gasoline or propane.I opted for a "bubble" carburetor designed by Jan Ridders from the Netherlands. (This guy has an AMAZING webb site.)

If you like to build model engines don't think that you can't build an I.C. engine. Look at my other engine the "Pioneer" ,this one isn't hard to build, and there is a video and plans available from "smart-flix". I believe you can do it!

The spark plug is an NGK CM-6. The spark plug in my "Pioneer" video is homemade. Thanks for asking.

@TheLecker1 wissen Sie, was aufs Geratewohl Motor ist?

ok call me stupid... but why does it hit and then miss?

[robertfilipiak]

"Hit" is when the engine fires, causing the flywheel(s) to spin faster. When this happens the governor will hold the exhaust open or "(miss" (no compression or spark) causing the engine to freewheel until the stored energy in the flywheel(s) is diminished at which point, the governor releases the exhaust valve and the engine has compression and fires again "hit".

@robertfilipiak was ist das denn jetzt für ne komische frage?^^

sounds like you need a slightly richer fuel mix in the liquid fuel mode

FANTASTIC!!!!

Now thats just cool. Great sound, sounds a little out of rythym though.

I enjoy building model engines myself. Unfortunately, I believe that an I.C. engine is a little out of my reach. This thing is fantastic, I would love to have one just like it. I could watch it run all day. Great Job!!
