The only problem I'm having now is where this is my first hit and miss build is I'm not sure how it should be geared. Should the gear that will be running the shaft that will be hooked up to the governor be the same size as the gear on the crank or the one for the cam? Sent from my iPhone...

I did a little test today to see how the intake valve will have to work on this motor and it turns out I can leave the intake valve set up the way it comes from briggs. All I had to do was remove the push rod from the cam and the heavy spring that was in there, replace it with a lighter duty...

I'm not really sure. This will be my first hit & miss build. I'm considering running both intake and exhaust off the cam but I don't know if that's the best way or not. Sent from my iPhone using Model Engines

Ok I've started this project and there's no turning back now. I made the cut into the crank case and exposed the cam gear. My plan is to use the cam gear to run the governor. I'll keep adding pictures as I go. Sent from my iPhone using Model Engines

Ok so I have to trim the push rod down so I can fit some sort of catch in there to hold the exhaust valve open until it's ready to fire than it will have to let the valve fall back down on to the push rod to run normally right? And as for the catch plate where would I find some designs to base...

Thank you for this information Phil. When you say "normal operation" do you mean the exhaust valve is back to running off the cam or does it stay closed until the engine fires? Sent from my iPhone using Model Engines

Hello everyone I was wondering if anyone has done this or could lead me in the right direction. I had an idea this morning about making a old briggs & Stratton motor in to a hit & miss engine. It seems to me it would be pretty straight forward but I'm not to sure how to go about it. I have a...

No no I'm not looking for any free plans. I'm looking in to getting Steve's plans. I really like his design and am really excited to get going on it as soon as I can.

Ya I think I would be able to handle making it. Do you use cnc or manual machines?

I would like to make one that runs on fuel but it really depends on the difficulty

Do you have any for some that would run on ether air or fuel? They wouldn't have to be a v-8.

I was wondering if anyone had any v-8 blue prints out there?
