That's not bad for your first try. It's going to take some experimenting for sure. Very interested in this process. Cheers Willy

Hi simonbirt Yes I would be interested in your drawings and photos. Cheers Willy

Hi minh-thanh Nice parts. Keep up the good work. Cheers Willy

Hi Ray I would second the addition of a simple Tach like the one used with the Rcexl Ignition systems. To make it less work for you, why not just use the Rcexl one. Looking forward to this project. Cheers willy

Hi Ray I would certainly be interested in helping you out any way I can. Using the Arduino Nano is a good way to go. It will be nice to have another ignition system available for our model engines. Cheers Willy

Absolutely amazing work Terry. It's going to be a winner. Cheers Willy

As Nerd1000 has cautioned in post #98. Diesel engines are totally different from their brother the gasoline engine. Gas engines with a carburetor or injector/throttle body limit and control the amount of fuel/air entering the engine. With diesel engines the intake passage to the cylinders is...

The problem with both of these methods, is there is no feedback from the engines speed and they are not easily adjustable while the diesel engine is running. The cam lobe height is a fixed distance so your fuel oil delivery will be a fixed amount. The fuel pressure adjustment bolt has similar...

How are you planning to control the amount of fuel delivered per injection? Your injector spray looks good but time will tell how it acts under the pressure of compression? A very fine mist ignites well from the compression heat and has little smoke. Bigger droplets don't ignite as well and...

Hi Madsciguy Thank you for explaining this and adding the diagrams. The topic can be a little hard to grasp especialy as one gets older. I'm planning to design and build my own model generator in the near future. Cheers Willy

Greetings John Glad that you have joined this forum. There is alot of information available on this site. Sorry I'm not any help with your Lathe questions. Cheers Willy

Hi Terry Wanted to say that I'm very impressed with your project and your attention to detail is just amazing. Thank you for allowing us to follow along with your progress of this project. Thanks again Willy

Enjoying your Diesel Engine build. If you are talking about the piston in the cylinder, you are going to need metal piston rings as I don't really think O rings can stand up to the high compression pressures. For very long. In regards to the Plunger and Barrel in conventional injection pumps...

Thanks Jan. I figured there must have been something to make the one side different for the other. Cheers Willy

Really enjoying watching this build. Wonder why they dump the collector for the front three cylinders on the right side into one leg of the three rear cylinders and on the left side the front three collector connects into the secondary collector? Maybe there is something in the way?
