Yes my friend you are totally 100% correct In Everything you have said no quality control whatsoever they just make as you say desktop toys and we get sucked in 😔
I would start by doing a simple compression test by only placing one spark plug on each cylinder one at a time and turning it manually, sure if the cylinder is leaking at this point the compression will be low, otherwise possibly the oil check ring is placed incorrectly or not doing the job properly. On my 4 cylinder cison engine I have a big loss of compression but to help the situation and prevent the crankcase from becoming pressurized I modified the crankcase oil cap so that I could connect a tube and connect it to an oil catch can
sorry to hear about this it sounds possibly oil ring related seeing that's its just on number 1 and 4, I hope you manage to get it all sorted and that you get the advice needed to fix it
Well I’m struggling with Stirlingkit it’s hard work talking to them, I have sent them this video a few times now as their technicians can’t understand English stirlingkit told me that 🤷♂️
Trying to talk to Stirlingkit is like trying to get blood out of a stone, they admitted to me there so called technicians can’t understand English 🤦♂️can you believe that 🤷♂️
Cison needs to fix all those problems and what seems strange to me is that the Cison L4-175 does not have those same problems. Apparently that realistic design is costing them many units.
@@Blacklamass I had the same with my engines... Then i got myself a small engine that 100% works out of the box. Turned out to be a fun little engine for only 145 euro. Maybe its something for you to? Lusqi gx25 on ali (honda clone 4 stroke 25cc) Works great and im planning to put a better carb on there and weld a simple exhaust pipe, but its nice to have something that runs out of the box. And i am planning to remove all plastic bits and put it in a large rc ship
glad to see im not the only one here having issues.. mine arrived with intake valves missig from both heads, grub screws missing from the block (allowing both oil and coolant to rapidly leak) and my CDI killed itself when i went to spark test it. i have had this engine for almost 3 weeks now and im only gettign sent the parts. i am possibly going to be refused a new cdi as well. it really seems their technical team is not very good with quality control... reguardless i am going to work through the issues and try to get the engine running. It sucks because it really seems like the engine is of a decent quality, i have no leaks from the gaskets what so ever. If worst comes to worst, i will not ship back my engine, i will make a dispute with my bank. this is BONKERS were pretty much paying 3/4 for shipping direct from china, so in turn we get a procuct thats worth nothing over $500. THIS IS 2 PEOPLE IN A ROW THEY SCREWED OVER. stirling kit needs some serious coaching or a serious lesson taught to them.
Yes my friend I have asked for a refund but no deal, they are getting fed up with me because I tell it like it is and how dare I complain about one of their engines 🤷♂️ even though it died on the second start up, I have had this all before on the terrible engine L400 with the breaking crankshafts that apparently did not exist🤦♂️ took me months to get them to admit there was a problem till I made a video condemning them and the engine. Now you think that after that I would ever buy another Stirlingkit or Chinese engine again, but I did my homework through guys that had them and they all said they were good, well this is what I have ended up with, if they don’t sort it I will just keep making videos like this to let you guys know what’s going on. Thanks for the reply 👍🏻

If the engine tilts, less than 28ml of engine oil should be added, otherwise the crankshaft will come into contact with the oil, causing a large amount of lubricating oil to enter the cylinder. The oil ring is too small to handle excessive lubrication
The engine has its own oil pump so why would tilting the engine a few degrees cause it to fail, there was air bubbles in the oil going into the pump and no matter what I did it was the same air bubbles in the oil, only adding oil did I get rid of them, and now your saying use less oil it will only destroy the engine completely, Stirlingkit are not sympathetic whatsoever that I have paid £1400 for an engine that died on its second start up, in fact kind of been the exact opposite saying I got no patience and so on, wouldn’t you be upset 😠
Sorry for making so many comments, i wil leave it off with this. If and when i get my engine running i will let you know what happens and if any issues persist from there. it i a possibility you did install 2 and 8's oil rings the wrong way around but it is VERY hard to see which way there supposed to go, if it even matters at all. i will do that research and experimentation for you. i do ask how are you going about a refund? did you file a dispute with your bank or are you going to have them refund you themselvs? please let me know.
Hi you can reply to me as many times as you like we have got to stick together to sort this, Stirlingkit take no responsibility for their engines once they have sold them to you don’t know if you have found the same? They bombard you with emails to buy the engine and when you do it’s like bye 👋 just get on with it, I have done a lot of videos in the early days to promote their engines and they would help me on the price of a new one but I had such hard work to get this engine any cheaper and when I did get it the only colour on it was the red rocker box covers, I believe this was an end of line engine or an old casing and they have made up an engine out of parts they had laying around. No quality control whatsoever with this company.
you arent paying for quality. you are paying for a small team to spend a bit of time on cad, then a few CNC machines tooled up, material, and packaging, transport, advertising. like almost anything chinese, quickly thrown together with no actual engineering behind it. certain vital parts overlooked. corners cut. cheap, cheap, cheap. all that matters is that it "looks the part". a conley, if they still made small engines, would be about 5X the price. but they were also backed up by a few decades of engineering, development, and in-shop improvements before being released onto the public, in limited numbers. its a desk ornament, bling. it was never intended to be used "in anger".

Im sorry to see it broke down, i hope its a easy fix. cheers mate

Seal problem with the valves or pushrods possibly?. . . For what you paid thats crap it blew up so quick!
Yes, the valves haven’t got seals and are quite lose in the bores
From what I've read it's either the o-ring or the cylinder sleeves
No there is no water in the oil what was left of it in the sump, the seals in the cylinders was another issue
Sorry to here this Steve, hope sterling come through with a decent resolution for ya , fingers crossed. Ray from Active Scale 👍🤔🙄
Thanks Ray trying to get a refund

Please check the oil ring of cylinder 1, it may be installed in the wrong direction, causing the oil to continuously pump upwards
If the engine tilts, less than 28ml of engine oil should be added, otherwise the crankshaft will come into contact with the oil, causing a large amount of lubricating oil to enter the cylinder. The oil ring is too small to handle excessive lubrication
The engine has its own oil pump so why would tilting the engine a few degrees cause it to fail, there was air bubbles in the oil going into the pump and no matter what I did it was the same air bubbles in the oil, only adding oil did I get rid of them, and now your saying use less oil it will only destroy the engine completely, Stirlingkit are not sympathetic whatsoever that I have paid £1400 for an engine that died on its second start up, in fact kind of been the exact opposite saying I got no patience and so on, wouldn’t you be upset 😠
In other words, heres the video i have unlisted on my channel that shows my cdi became faulty. th-cam.com/users/shorts1uWN4Zlo214
I have yet to see a chinese engine be reliable.
Lusqi GX25 is my best engine so far for only 145 euro on ali
Yes guys I have asked for a full refund and I will send it back been started twice
They won’t give me a refund 😢

I asked them for a refund many times saying I send it back straightaway but it just falls on deaf ears, I’m wondering if PayPal can help 🤔
you arent paying for quality. you are paying for a small team to spend a bit of time on cad, then a few CNC machines tooled up, material, and packaging, transport, advertising.
like almost anything chinese, quickly thrown together with no actual engineering behind it. certain vital parts overlooked. corners cut. cheap, cheap, cheap. all that matters is that it "looks the part".

I'd never buy something that exspencive from china
Well yes maybe, there is a bit more to it than that In this case, but I won’t go into that right now
