[Tennessee Whiskey]

Just beautiful, and the exhaust note is awesome. So, are castings and plans going to be available ?

Thomas,
That sounds great and responds to tapping the throttle well. I would say you nailed the carburetor.

Thomas,
Nice work congrats for reaching the goal of a running engine.
Can you tell what diameter the carb is, and whats the displacement of the engine?

Roger, actualy coleman fuel is chemically nothing more than catalytic gasoline. Here in germany coleman fuel is not available but we have
 " Reinigungsbenzin / cleaning petrol " for degreasing issues . This is the same stuff.

I started out using normal unleaded petrol but have recently changed to Alkylate fuel that I can get in the local agricultural store, 'Landi' here in Switzerland. This reduces the smell problem.

Hello,

Thanks for all the kind commends.

Art, you are probably right, maybe i nailed the carburettor. I did one little thing with it that changed the behavior of the carb totally. It improves gasoline suction and turbulence ( and therefore atomization ) at low rpm very well i think.
This is probably of public interrest but i have to proof this bevore and make a drawing bevore i post it.

Roger, with the kind of petrol we use ( alkalythe / cathalytic ) i can even run my hit & miss engine in my living room. But with this engine and the needed 1:50 mix this would probably not the best idea.

Cletus, I will make the plans ready for the engine but it will take a little time. This was the plan from the beginning. Also there is no reason not to cast a few more parts from my casting models if someone wants to build one.

Michael, the engine displacement is 54,23 ccm with a bore of 24 mm and a stroke of 30 mm. The venturi diameter is 4 mm but there is a special slot / groove in the venturi wich makes all the difference i think.

Best regards,
Thomas
