I switched to a real carberator on a known running motor and it ran and idled but could not raise the rpms cause it was leaning out. Real propane regulators I find are atleast or over 60 dollars. At the end of that tube that feeds the propane has a little cap at the end with a very small hole in it. I think that small hole needs to be enlarged for it to rev up.

No, a fart machine would run on methane, not propane.

Good job! I used to dick around with lawnmower engines all the time, you can really learn alot from it. Keep it up! Even if your parents get annoyed ;)

Great job

@FireDropTechnologies

Calcium-Carbide+ water=Acetylene=Carbide Shooting.

sound kinda like a fork lift

[FireDropTechnologies]

Calcium-Carbide+ water=Acetylene

try running it on that, with a bit of HHO gas once it starts and the fuel cell comes online and starts producing. then you can lean out the Acetylene gas to just a tad bit of hydrocarbon fuel. A Renewable Hydrocarbon fuel! all it takes is a propane carburator, or a set rpm engine.

@silverchris2 If you're using a propane torch head (Like I was), you'll need to bump up the size of the orifice (little cap w/ small hole) to allow more fuel to flow. Your other option is to tilt the bottle so some liquic comes out - be wary, though. The orifice is sized to get a nice blue flame with the air provided via the holes in the side of the torch head. If it's too lean, you can cover one of the holes with your finger 'til the RPM raises based on the tank valve setting. Good luck!

I know from experience, fixed over 100 briggs and lawnmower engines. The flywheel is used to have momentum after the combustion the piston send power to crankshaft then to the flywheel so the next rotation it can compress the fuel mixture and fire using the momentum from the cast flywheel.

Lawnmower engines that dont have a cast flywheel it uses a blade as a flywheel and they are design that way without it, the engine will have rogue idle and sheer the key way for the flywheel.
