    Building a twin cylinder inline i.c. engine.

    Brian, did you swap the spark plugs between the cylinders. I may be a bad spark plug. Just asking Cheers Andrew

    Brian, do it the old fashioned way, just hold finger over spark plug hole and spin engine over and then check the other cylinder, and compare. Cheers Andrew

    Brian. It may be worth it. Cam cutting is not all that easy. Also you could machine the nose radius as well. I was looking at doing a cam grinder, but getting materials, mainly the gearing and belt systems at the time, slowed me down. Cheers Andrew

    Unkown Engine

    Hi All, After info on some castings that was given to me this morning, some have been worked, missing bottom crankcase?, or it could be a flat twin, 2 stroke engine, only one rod, looks like in bronze. Any one know the engine name would be helpful. Cheers Andrew

    Let's make a 4 cylinder flat

    Congrats on getting all 4 to fire, the Video looks good to me, its not shaking all over the place like some, and its nice and clear. The length of the intake runners could be a problem with it running rich and lean, also wont help with slow running. Cheers Andrew

    Brian, It all depends on the crankshaft, if both crank pins are on the same plane(both cylinders/pistons TDC at same time) you can use one set of points, with a twin coil, if the crank pins are 180deg apart you will need two separate ign pick ups and coils. Hope this helps. Cheers Andrew

    Building a twin cylinder inline i.c. engine.

    Sorry Brian, People have to get on the band wagon on different ign's that are not required for the engine. The Rcexl ign unit required for the "N" magnet is the "LV" of multi cylinder ign system for uneven firing engines, ie:- "V" twins. They have a 4 wire pickup. South pole for #1 cylinder and...

    Seeking plans for twin cylinder inline i.c. engine

    petertha, I changed mine(Jung V Twin) over to Spark, used the RCEXL LV spark box, required two magnets at 90deg apart, first south, second north facing. Done the same with the same engine(Magumn) 20 years ago, still run on glow fuel, spark for better idle and transition. Cheers Andrew
