    Need help identifying engine

    Thank you so much! I will contact him Ro see if I can get the plans. I really like your 4 stroke conversion. I may go that route. Did you have plans for that or develop it yourself? Thanks again Wayne

    Large coles hit and miss engine

    Thanks Peter MNay sent me what I needed for drawings. The cam is ok. The engine came with a buzz coil. Will that work for this type of engine? Or do I need a single spark high tension coil? I am new to this, I usually work on steam engines. Wayne

    Large coles hit and miss engine

    Thank you Catminer for sending me the info I need to confirm Cam is ok.

    Need help with Coles Corliss

    I bought a Coles Corliss engine on the weekend. Prior to this my only experience was with building Stuart type engines. The Corliss valve gear is quite different and I’m having problems wrapping my head around how it works. The covers on the back side of the valves are missing and I really have...
