New engine

  • Hit n Miss

  • Websters

Results are only viewable after voting.
Personally, I'd feel way more comfortable with the webster:eek:)

Wes
 
I looked at all of them and, as a newbie, voted for the webster. Regardless of which one we do I'd prefer to do a mill part as I will be taking the milling course whem we're building.
 
i was thinking about this engine
DavidKerzelHHM101180s.jpg


the drawings are free from david, its hit and miss (the webster has no governor) and it is all made out of bar stock (no castings)

it is just another idea i thought i would throw in to the mix, what do you guys think?
for more info look in the gallery section under david kerzel http://www.floridaame.org/

That is a nicer looking engine. I always told myself that if I got around to building a IC engine it would have to be a hit and miss. They are just neat to watch run.

should we change the poll?

PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I'll make parts for what ever is chosen but simpler is better for the first one I would think. I'm sure our confidence as team builders will grow with our knowledge as we learn from each other and those that have already been there done that! ;D
Dick
 
Please only vote if you are building:eek:)

I just voted on the hit and miss engine. I think it is a better design.

Thanks, Wes
 
Last poll. ;D

This is the deciding one. Please only vote if you are a member of the team.

I am in for the hit and miss as well, I have restored several of the full size antiques, but never built a small model.

Brian
 
very nice 1 h.p international famous you have there dick it looks to be complete, have you had it running?
if i,m not mistaken the intake and exhaust valves are 90 degres to one another?

chuck
 
Well it looks like we have an engine;o) I Emailed David for the plans But haven't received a reply as of yet. I'm excited about this one.

Wes
 
Got the plans Chuck. Thanks:eek:) I would like to build the Crank shafts for this engine. Mainly because they make me nervous. I've never built anything like that. I'd also like to try and tackle the spark plugs.

Wes
 
Hi Chuck yes it runs well. I have quite a collection of them. I used to go to the shows quite often when my kids were younger and enjoyed it. I have a couple of the M's which were throttle governed an LA and a Z. Also collected a few One lunger marines. I grew up on a farm here in New England and built my house on part of it.

This Hit + Miss should be an interesting build. Looking forward to it.
Dick
 
I want to make the gears and some little brass parts ( if possible)
Regards
Jacques
 
Jacques, Where are you from?

The gears were my second choice:eek:) Igot a lesson in building them here a while back. My lathe lost a couple :eek: :eek: :eek:

Later, Wes
