Hi Julian, Attached drawing may also help for defining the correct size. Brgds

Hello Mike, For the trial purpose the cheapest way is an Air duster that are sold as 400ml aerosol.Mostly used for blowing dust from keyboards. The compressor you mentioned is not working properly for running steam engines as they do not produce continous air.It is only ok for inflating the...

Hello, Here is a short video.I could only captured the last few seconds. A better one will follow on Sunday. Let me know if you see something abnormal on its running. Brgds

Hello, Finally it works much better now.It runs almost 30 seconds. :big: I think with a fine tuning and some modifications on the fuel tank,it will run continiously. What did I change for a better result? Here are some important hints for those who want to build a webster with glow plug...

Hi RickA, Welcome. Bogstandart, I have decided to choose the glow plug version after reading the notes of Joe Webster. He says that the first few runs were too short but does not mention about any problem with glow plug version. However,I agree with you on the cooling factor of the fuel on...

Hi, I've got two 2,2 amp (1,2V) batteries installed on the glow-plug charger. so it is 4.4 amp brand new battery. Lets see what happens.

Hi, Brian, I'll do that adaptor. Jim, You are right. Batterry voltage is dropping quickly.So I will purchase a new glow plug battery (maybe 1,5V instead of 1,2V if I can find) and try again. What I do not understand is that after a few seconds run,it should continue running even I take out...

Hello, Here is the video engine runs for a few seconds than it stops. it does not start on the consequent trials. waiting your comments.

Hello, I could not find that battery from the local market and did not order it also from tower hobbies as they usually do not accept international shipment for batteries,paints etc..... Anyway,I have installed an o-ring between the cylinder head and the manifold as suggested and of course,it...

Hello, Metalmad, I have already changed the intake spring.The one you see on the picture is the old one.The new one is softer.I added a picture of it.I used gaskets between the layers of the intake system. Ed, Yes you are right.There is no went hole on the tank but I completely opened it...

Hello Ed, Yes.I have tried several needle openings,1 turn,2 turns and even 3 turns.Normally it should work with one and a half turn. The carburetor I am using does not have a venturi or a very light one.Do you think that can effect the flow of fuel to the cylinder? I have added some pictures...

Hello, The new glow plug F type also did not work.I have injected some fuel before replacing the new glow plug(as suggested by Ed). Engine started for a 3 or 4 turns and stopped again. So the reason of failure is unsufficient fuel/air supply. What I have done? 1- replaced the o rings on the...

Hi CS, It is a very nice check valve.I'll try to do it. The F type glow plug will come tomorrow.Lets see if it will add some value or not. I live in Istanbul but travel to south of Turkey every summer.I would like to welcome you in Istanbul on your next visit to Turkey. You can see my other...

Hi Ed, No it is not an idle-bar plug. I will purchase an F type glow plug for 4 cycle engines and if available with an idle bar,tomorrow. If it does not work with the new plug and maybe with a new 1,5V baterry,I will directlt switch to ignition system.

Hi CS, I do the same to fill the cylinder with some fuel prior to first attempt but it didnot work.Ignition system has a powerful spark and totally different from the glow plug. I would like to see the detals of your control valve. Thanks again.
