Idk mine fires both ways in different cylinders

But all cylinder s do have compression

No where I need to file a flat on the distributor shaft for the little gear it keeps on slipping and I need to get a new set screw for said gear

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMvkv-o3H9A here is the video its not the best

i made some adjustments to the distributor and all the cylinders are getting spark, it will now pop but cylinder 1 and 4 seem to be sucking air in the exhaust not the intake. i will try to get a video of this in a few. i was turning it over so much the distributor gear loosened :wall:

Would it help if I posted a video if it turning over

I will take some more pictures monday

I think it was a gasket I had made was pressing on the timing gears when I removed that it was loose

I think i may have figured it out the first cylinder is not getting spark. I think if I remake the part of the distributor that makes contact and rotates It should help.

I was just think about this wall engine today, my engine Is very stiff. I tried turning it over in my lathe to losses it up, but it didn't help is there a way to "accelerate brake in"

i was looking at chucks carb, but the full scale ford engine is almost a 1.375 bore. i would like to try it with both the oiler and a carb. thanks, matt

Can any one suggest a model airplane carburetor (or plans for one) for fords first engine? I would use the drip oiler but it seems like it would make it harder to start. Thanks, Matt
