    wall 4 valve timing.

    My engine has a small amount of oil that seeps near each valve lifter...not a real problem at all. I just wipe it off after I run it for the day I show it. I did build a advance rod that connects the throttle lever to the distributor arm. That really works sweet ! I sometime may place a full...

    wall 4 valve timing.

    I use Klotz 100% pure synthetic Techniplate oil. SAE 20W Grade 60. It has very good body to it. Where does your engine leak oil? Got 6 Quarts of it....should last as long as I live !

    wall 4 valve timing.

    My engine when I got it did not have any compression at all. I took the pan off & spent much time cleaning it out. Used a tooth brush even. Rinsed the insides out with clean fuel & blew out that with compressed air. I lubed the internal parts & placed the pan & spark plugs back together. Then I...

    Wall 4 cylinder 50cc distributor question

    I watched the video. Maybe the cam is out of time. Did you check the valve clearance also & take the plugs out. Turn engine again and place a thumb or finger over each sparkplug hole to see if compression is about the same. Use good fresh camp stove fuel & make sure the oil level is to the top...

    Wall 4 cylinder 50cc distributor question

    Yes a video would help with good sound. May want 2 videos...one with spark plugs in place & another them out. Maybe one video if you can remove spark plugs fast. Best Regards John

    Wall 4 cylinder 50cc distributor question

    If you can take a couple of photos & post them, we could help out much faster. Did you find out why the engine turns over hard? Is the compression to high or tight pistons or bearings? Capt,n John

    Drill size for 10-40 Tap in Aluminum

    I never seen any glow plug that had 10-40 threads. All I have seen have 10-32 threads. Check the threads per inch on the plug you are going to use. Good Luck

    Hi Steve, You have it right on the spot. Back in the 1960 days, If you did not run as fast as you could after punching out of the time clock, it could take 15-20 minutes to get out of the parking lot. They had a huge power house & would get materials from the ship docks right near. The property...
