Hit & Miss Engine, Red Wing 1/3rd scale
This my Red Wing 1/3rd scale model hit and miss engine.
I have just recently fished building it from a basic unmachined casting kit produced by PM Research in the US and supplied to me by Forest Classics here in the UK. All the other necessary components and fittings were made by me from bar stock.
It's just about run in now and I have it running here on Colman's camping fuel with 10% WD40 added to lubricate the bore but also runs well on petrol with a small amount of 2 stroke oil added.
The ignition is via a Rcexl CDi unit with hall effect sensor from 'Just Engines' in the UK.
Power to the ignition is supplied by 2x 18650 3.7v Lithium batteries wired in series (8.4v) and are in the wooded control box.
As you can see in the box there is also a rev counter, the Rcexl cdi unit comes with a lead attached specifically for this purpose so it seemed a shame not you use it! . . . It's x10 by the way so about 260 rpm.

FZ1 + SJ4000 - Fun in November sun! 2014
มุมมอง 1759 ปีที่แล้ว
First test of my SJ4000 camera on the FZ1, still need to do a bit of tweaking with the settings but not too bad for first time out me thinks! November sun was pretty low in the sky so a bit of glare here and there.

This year’s Hoggin The Bridge was a great turn out must have been about 2,000 bikes! Set off from the Seven View services across the bridge and then a 2 hour ride through towns a villages to Chepstow race course where there was lots going on including live bands and trade stands etc. All in all a great day out all in aid of charity.

    This engine spins freely! Maybe it is very efficient. Just make these springs on flywheel hard and it will go very fast.

      You're missing the point. Building a scale model engine is not intended as a substitute for owning a full-scale engine. Rather, it is to have the experience of building a scale model engine.

  • @buckstarchaser2376
    @buckstarchaser2376 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    When it attempts to fire but fails one or more times before it finally fires, what is going on there? Is that a mixture issue once it starts to warm up? I've heard that on a few engine videos, but I haven't heard a good explanation for it. Congratulations on very low friction, by the way. You mentioned in another comment an interest in building a twin. I've never seen a twin cylinder hit and miss, and am enthusiastically interested in such a project! I have a smaller version on the way and can hardly wait to dig into it.

    • @mrc1539
      @mrc1539 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Buck Starchaser , I have found that normally when it’s double firing like that it is because it is to lean, need to open the mixture screw a tad bit. The only twin cylinder Hit and Miss engine that I have ever seen was scratch built by Jim Limacher, and is on the cover of the Oct/Nov 2013 issue of Gas Engine Magazine, and it is a beauty !

    *>>>**arah.in/yhBb** Portability is excellent which "at my level of experience" is very important :-). After 3 years still going strong. good enough for a single user to do a little trim nailing or even a framer for a smallish project. Wouldn't want to use it to frame a house or nail off a shingle roof though…*

      It isn't necessary to start a Redwing with a drill! Both mine - air-cooled and water-cooled - start first pull by hand. It shouldn't misfire like that either. Excellent job otherwise though.
