    The spark ignition was the best part about that engine. But it does run pretty good on nitro.

      People said to me before that RC vehicles use nitro fuel because the geometry of the engines is just too small to have fuel and air mix properly. A flathead is notorious for having bad mixing characteristsics, so I can imagine it being the worst miniature engine to be run on gasoline.

    Hi Johnny - you might well have spotted this but on the thermal imaging shot, the exhaust header nearest the camera was cold, and the engine didn't sound like it was running on all 4. Someone else in the comments mentioned something similar. Definately worth looking into. Otherwise, good work!

    Although I agree with your theory about the stiffer valve springs, I think that a carburetor with a larger bore would also help, with both nitro and gasoline. Compare the ratio of bore diameter of the carb to displacement of a single cylinder to that of one of your factory single cylinder nitro engines.

    Nice - It definitely sounded better on nitro and looked a lot more responsive than it did running on petrol- I think It'd be a lot better if you give each cylinder it's own carburettor too. It also looks like a prime target for some air charging - Have you ever thought about using a small EDF or driving your own design of super charger with a little brushless motor so it doesn't leach any power/torque from the engine? Good vid as always, Thanks - All the best.

    Very nice indeed.
    Considering how big the carburettor is on 3,5ccm and like 4.6 or 5.9ccm,
    you should definitely get something bigger! This thing is restrictive af.
    Also one which is not turning. It should slide to the side!
    Due to the "special" engine use, you should take one with 3 needles to adjust (+1 for idle).
    Then you should definitely do something with the cam timing. There is basically no "valve crossing",
    so a point, where both valves are open at the same time, this is mandatory for high revving engines.
    Without, you will never experience any high rpm things. Especially on NA engines. On Turbos its..
    more for cooling EGT rather than getting more air into the engine.
    I can send you a high performance 3.5ccm carburettor which should fit your needs,
    but I want to see nice contents with it!

    It definitely sounded allot better. When we were kids in the 70's we use to mix 50/50 Cox airplane nitro fuel and gas for are Briggs, or Tecumseh powered go karts, and mini bikes. All the engines back then were flatheads. It didn't help much on the low end, but mid to top end it made the difference. The only thing it ate the electrodes on the spark plugs.

    Did u notice that the closest header witch would be no4 cylinder wasn't hot like the rest were glowing start it and check the first cylinder if it don't get hot the carb can't supply enough air/fuel to the end cylinders to solve that twin carbs,so what about doing a twin carb set up for more fine adjustment, and lapping or re-seating the valves coz as u knw thay properly not been done that good in the first place from factory and abit of port matching the inlet see if you can get a better flow and leaving it rough with help mixing the fuel and air, exhaust side help with the flow and give it a little polish to help get the exhaust gases out quicker if it's possible cos of the size. I would make a silencer box with at least a inch of tube each end to put on the end of the manifold for abit of back pressure. If it was me with your tools/machines check if it gets hot thn go from there. I would do the end can/silencer first to see if it helps thn the lapping and port matching/polishing/making flow better in the head and see how if it helps thn the twin carb set up. 🤔💯💯🔥👌👊👍
