    Chinese 4 stroke model camshaft repair advice

    The lifters on the original camshaft (while being small), would actually rotate. So if you follow the same design you should be fine. I needed to send the lifters but was in a rush. I will see if I can send you some form of dimensions for the lifters and I could sand them down to size if too...

    The Chinese hit and miss’s are really good. Because the design is off of the kertzal engines. These things can get people in the hobby for cheap and that’s what I love to much about them. They have sent me a new camshaft and will arrive eventually. However I will not be installing it.

    Believe it or not the original lifters do rotate when running. I had it apart and they do rotate around. Guess even that wasn’t enough to fix the wear LOL

    Regardless, it’s a fun engine. It’s a simple easy to work on thing. When it’s well tuned it always starts up real easy. Just takes a bit of fine tuning. And I’ll get that New camshaft to fix the issue

    Well I’ve made the decision to get a new one machined. So that’s out of the question. The whole engine is in pieces at the moment and the camshaft is out.

    I’ll also pull the shaft out. I’ll get a caliper and measure the size. The 2 ends are smaller because they have to fit in bearing slots. I’m sure there are some good machinists here that could make me one for a reasonable price. Not that much metal since the thing is so small!

    I don’t have a lathe. I would love to have someone make me a stainless steel camshaft. I could give dimensions. I would also ask for some larger lobes

    Hi there. I am new to the forum and do love model engines. I got a m16 Chinese model 4 stroke engine which I run on white gas and MMO. I am really entertained by these things. I’ve put a grand total of 36 hours of run time on this little model. After a nice tune on it, the camshaft has started...
