Hi everybody.This morning was very successful so far.
The engine is back in long run condition.
Just finished with an empty fuel cell by another 75 Minutes of additional run time.
No new crankshaft failures detected so far.
Some dynamic pictures attached.
I have made some video recording, too, will try to make a small movie later.
The break in is very successful so far, it is possible to run the engine the with around 450 U/min.
A piece a paper, giving more friction to the throttle barrel there, was very helpful there.

Excellent run, Achim!  Glad you got the crankshaft issues worked out it seems to run beautifully now for extended periods.  :ThumbsUp: :popcorn: :ThumbsUp:

Great video. It seems to idle quite slowly too!

Hi Kim, thanks.


I have been very surprised by myself, that it runs with under 400 revs  now.

Hi Per, thanks.
The blue coolant is normal automotive coolant.
I have chosen this blue ones, because I d not like the other colors like raspberry red or the even more horrible poison green.

Hi Roger, thanks.


The inspiration for Doug Kelley to design this model was a picture of the parts catalog from 1918, if I remember right.
See picture attached.
Is does clearly show a stationary application of this engine.


In October 2021, i have already prepared a generator, may be to fit in my diorama.
https://www.modelenginemaker.com/index.php/topic,10565.msg246726.html#msg246726
Today I have give it a black powder coating, it was necessary to disassembly it again.
Inside is a small Chinese e-motor hidden.
Now it is reassembled again, mechanical wise no problem,  but electrical wise I failed.
I have tried to is run it as an e-motor several times today after reassembly, but it does not like anymore.
The data of the e-motor has been
12 V
0,13 A  current consumption
and 10.000 U/min
What ever I do, I will get max 1.000 u/min with my Titan and loosing the nice sound then, with a not known output at the moment, surly very little.
So my decision, it will be added as a fake.
The design is done and a suitable belt is ordered.
Kind Regards
Achim

Hi Achim,

Yes quite a few tractor engines were also available for stationary use.

I have been using this type of motor as a generator, it is designed for lower speeds:

Hi Roger,
thanks for the link.
Good to know, that there is something already tested, available.
For my application here, may a bit to big, but for any future project surely suitable.
Kind Regards
Achim

Hi Achim. I'm glad the crank repair was so successful and that lovely engine is running as well as you could wish for. Looking forward to the final diorama display! :cheers:

Hi Ron, yes indeed, I am also very happy about it. Until now something about 325 Minutes runtime already done.
Kind Regards
Achim
