OMG that's so inspiring to hear. Thanks for the comment

I'm still thinking of blowing mine up. As for yours, friction? Try spraying 100% silicone spray into it

Welcome

It's getting down towards like it would sell $1100-1200. I suppose I should leave it for sale for ages until the right person comes along as TradeMe is a small marketplace for specialist stuff nowadays. Anyway at around $1000 it's surely worth keeping it for spares...although it runs as well as the new one. So I'm in two minds. You want it? You in NZ?

@@ThomasPCGuruENGINES I am in NZ but unfortunately I'm still too young to make a trade me account otherwise (and if I had the money) I'd buy it on the spot, I've recently got into the hobby and have been scouring the internet for a cheap option.

Enjoy what you can!

@@ThomasPCGuruENGINES thanks, I will do my best to 👍

All my videos are cat approved. Some are chicken approved. Thanks for visiting the comments! And commenting! You're welcome :)

Let 'em know, they might be interested. Those model engineers make some amazing stuff but I think tiny diesels are still rare.

The answer is, kind-of. Wilesco and Bohm both do still, and there are older versions. Both are fairly basic "tin toys" and the prices will make your eyes water. Second hand or build it yourself are better options. Most people find a small used electric motor and go the generator route first. There are better scale generators and water pumps available from EngineDIY and Stirlingkit, Chinese made

@@ThomasPCGuruENGINES Thanks. That's a start.

I will. And I will refer sales to you guys :)

We'll see. Then we'll see again in a year if it still works

@@ThomasPCGuruENGINES I’ve just ordered one, can’t wait to see what I’ve actually got to play with. I hope it runs to true diesel. There’s not many models around that will run on diesel. I have a model 20cc Lister here that uses ether, even that has attracted a lot of attention.

Yeah I thought of that, and I take your point. I did it because it confuses TH-cam copyright and if I got pinged for copyright I'd have to mute all the sound on those clips...so rightly or wrongly, I thought is was the lesser of two weevils. Sorry man, the next one will be more engine noise I promise. I feel ya

@@ThomasPCGuruENGINES It's Cool and I appreciate the nod to M&C!!! 🤠👍

Yeah same. I'm no diesel engineer and I may be asking for help, but yeah...also I kind of think my wife might NOT be happy if I run this one in the kitchen!!

Actually, my friend, where and how did you get this news?

@ThomasPCGuruENGINES from the source 😎 I have seen it on pre sale on aliecpress shops but it's gonna be ready then. I love the smokey business of it and I'm just hoping the injector had good pressure and doesn't give up early

Yeah mine is coming from Aliexpress but shipped a few days ago. Now we have to wait for it to get to little old New Zealand. Could be 10 days or 3 weeks

@@ThomasPCGuruENGINES did you get it from Smurf88 ?

My past vid was here th-cam.com/video/YpMvZ7K-T9M/w-d-xo.htmlsi=X6Jmtf6h7HtX5Oxh the fuel was commercial fuel...very old too. And google "diesel fuel model engines recipe"

Indeed it is woo with suspense

I’m so excited for a true mini diesel engine! Will have to probably buy that one! Probably take the rest of me life to pay it off tho! But be worth it!

Judging by your TH-cam handle, not surprising. Try to get someone in your life to buy it for you?

Ah, my friend, we are obviously Jin's core customer! We totally "get" the passion he develops engines with, and we are passionate in sharing it! I was looking through my collection yesterday, it's similar to you. Loved your comment thanks!!!

I love running my T26 tractor and it's M26 motor is one of my favorite motors, so easy to start, such good manners and character BUT mine rattles like a bastard and I fear for the valve tappets or camshaft. Is yours rattley? You saw my two tractors video, right? th-cam.com/video/T0rWl1zpmLo/w-d-xo.html

@@ThomasPCGuruENGINES Hello Thomas, I have just seen your two tractors video. As I said before, the M26s are my best running engines. But both had problems initially. The stand- alone motor did not run because the camshaft was not fixed to the cogwheel - a pin was missing. The tractor engine did not have any compression when I got it. So, I put the now well running M26 into the tractor and repaired the tractor engine - just some adjustments required. These Jin engines are like children: usually they are quite well behaved. But on other occasions they just refuse to do what they are supposed to do. The main problem with the tractor was that the horizontal frame (with the seat) was not properly fixed to the vertical bit (under the controls). because of this the gearbox tended to disconnect from the cogwheel on the differential. I have solved this with a bit of 10 x 10 mm aluminium profile screwed (from the underside) to these two frame bits. Now the connection is stable. I run my engines wit 95 octane (car-)petrol with two-stroke oil at a mixture of 1:50 - 1:100. More oil only escapes from the exhaust. I can't be absolutely sure, but I think that my tractor is the only one in Cyprus.

Thank you for your interesting reply! Too true, they are a "fiddler's engine" :) I am reducing the amount of added oil down to that ratio too now.

You've go me, I don't even know there was such a thing. Lost in translation? Gimme a timestamp on the video?

They were a solid option back then before Chinese model engineering was a thing...

@@ThomasPCGuruENGINES James made some wonderful items.

Thank you sir!

No brand, just an engine manufactured by a German engineer James Maiwald. Google it for others

I have to agree. I'd like to see what they can do....they're very commercial though

Thanks for the heads-up. I will double check that next time

Thanks. Always ready to learn here!!

Well of course, silly me...

Oh, like the Enjomor ones? th-cam.com/video/4MCVjw6Wyt4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=jHjEzJciuLKhJVe1&t=347

Yes they run happily on lighter fuel and many modeller hobbyists recommend it for cleanliness, however as you do add two-stroke oil (40:1) you are adding stuff so maybe not so clean burning...we have alcohol-free petrol in NZ for now so I use pump gas, 95 octane plus two stroke oli

@@ThomasPCGuruENGINES sorry to be a pain, but would the lighter fuel need to have oil mixed or does it have enough lubricity already?

Definitely add oil

Not too bad smell, especially hit and miss which fire less often than a continuous runner, and tiny displacement

So nice

Yeah the others in the house should be used to the blowtorch occasionally lol You're right, it couldn't take that kind of heat forever and most of these model Stirling engines reach a heat "plateau" where the temperature is too hot for best performance, but not getting any hotter. Excepting the blow torch which would melt it I think

Bwaaaaaahahahaha "pro tip" my man yes. I will try that! Than k you.... :)

Yes, if you want gteh VERY best "heat of the hand" engine get one by Kontax UK, model KS90T is simply hypnotic as well as joyous. However with today's test of these Chinese Stirling engines, I think these high temp engines are now better than Kontax's high temp ones. My Kontax Rhombic was a bit sloppy

@@ThomasPCGuruENGINES will check them out. The Chinese ones are getting really good with fiber tolerance and better running . Which is great to see

Sure is! thanks!!! :)

Wha....? Dear Mr 212, surely you are not out of the tooobing game!?!? ....or, maybe you're out of this video in disgust?

Yeah I've looked at this and wondered if I can switch them round. Not that simple due to crankshaft lengths. I'd like it to be right too

M19 is great but I think is too small for the governor mechanism, slightest wear changes things. I just finished a massive repeair epic of this motor and the last thing I had to fix was old oil thickening in the intake valve stem, cleaned that out. Yeah every time I use it it's different. HM-01 you must spend the 20 mins or so bending the middle of that contact leaf to delay your ignition to tdc. However, it is a jumper :)

Thanks for the tip! Will; mtry for sure Garet

Dude I overstated that...I use straight 95 octane car petrol with about 3 to 5 % motor mower 2 stroke oil added. Oil is ASE30 motor mower oil. If they don't start first pop, do yo the needles until you feel resistance then back it open 1/4 to a half turn. These days it would be poor luck indeed if it didn't run

Yes this idea or a spring was forming in my mind. Good idea...as a hit n miss guy I am a bit late to variable speed carbs, I still struggle to find the sweet spot but I guess I enjoy the fiddling

Hey man! Thanks for the support and comment. It's a classic engine and I'm really happy with the new model to replace my unpainted one. I learned a lot too. :)

@ThomasPCGuruENGINES keep up the great work mate 👍

@GarbagePlateROC seems.like you getting something out of this saga too 😂

Guys, I have tried to make it clear I feel respect and support to Jin who kick started the ic vintage model engine market and is just a Good Bloke with a Family, Doing His Best. For this video about the painted engines, I offered him my support. I am a bit of a fanboy. We email a bit. I am NOT going the route of an affiliate; I don't need 5% hence he can offer a higher discount. All the threads of this are in the videos...anyhoo, I am NOT getting paid I am supporting the hobby I enjoy. However, I did get my first free engine to review from EngineDIY recently, the M96 Oddball. Pretty exciting step for a youtuber...take a guess how much I have spent on this hobby? It gets to the stage you think long and hard before getting another engine; but its the prep and customizing new engines I really enjoy. So the odd free engine at this stage will be accepted!! Stirlingkit are sending me some kids engines to review soon. I accept it may change the aspect of my videos. I always was positive about these models though, for what they are...and my skills with them continue to improve. Same as my video skills. Finally, Jin gave me a decent price on these painted models...I could still have sourced them elsewhere cheaper...but direct from him, at least he got the money. :)

Also, the red is deeper in real life. My camera pinked it a bit. I'll take what life offers and be happy.

Our pleasure!
