6 cycle odd ball
« on: July 22, 2018, 03:00:32 AM »
A friend of mine has 2 6 cycle odd ball engines he made in school but never got them running. I volunteered to see if I could get them running for him. This is the first one .

Hay Doc,
 Well done, seen one of these running still can’t figure out how 6 cycles works, but do sound neat!

Cheers Kerrin
Get excited and make something!

Hi Doc,

Good job, little engine seems very touchy.

Have a great day,
Thomas

The plans for that engine and explanation of the 6 cycles is in a book "The Shop Wisdom of Philip Ducloss"
