Brian, I have three engines, all of the hit & miss type that are fired with the electronic ignition systems from Roy Sholl. Two are of the buzz type and one is a single spark and they function nicely. Craig

Thanks guys, now give me another year and maybe I'll conjure up something else. Craig

Started on this over a year ago, but got put to the side while my attention was put toward the construction of my shop, a picture is in "The Shop" forum. Anyhow, I've managed to get my shop done, and now my second Economy is done too. Going to try to post a shortcut to the youtube video, hope...

This is my second Economy hit and miss engine, has a one piece crank, S/S Machine and Engineering electronic buzz coil ignition and runs on Coleman fuel.

Looks good to me, I too would like to hear it run. Craig

Been silent for a while, but alot of my time and energy has been consumed with a very large project, about 30'x50'x14' large. The inside is partitioned into two rooms, the garage is roughly 34'x28' with the big doors being 10'x10' and the machine shop area is about 14'x28' with a 8'x6' double...

Now that's cooler than the other side of the pillow!!! Great work and thanks for the update. The warm temps here have kept me busy outside too, but today the rainy weather has given me some inside time, maybe I'll do something?!?!?! Craig

Chuck, Great job on your engine. Has an eye appealing look and is very ear appealing too. Sounds very much like my JD 420. I've a horizontal 2 cylinder that needs finishing and the valve train setup on your engine may be the ticket. Could you elaborate on the setup and maybe post a few...

Nice job on the igniter, and the rest of the engine too, hope you meet your dead line. I was hoping to have a second Economy up and running by Spring time, but it's not going to happen. Starting to get nice outside, time to get the big engines out of the barn and ready them for the shows. Craig

Great running engine, has some nice coast time. Been told by more than one person that the governors on those engines, scale and full sized, can be a demon. Great Job, and thanks for sharing. Craig

Neat little engine, like the rain cap on the exhaust pipe!!! Nice OLD Bridgeport you've got there, mine is just like it. But mine comes in at # J664, a wee bit older and probably a wee bit more worn. Shanks for sharing. Craig

Chuck, More info on the DRO you've got on that ol SB. Would like to have one on my heavy 10. Like the hit and miss engines too. I've a 1 1/2 horse Stover K and a 7 horse Majestic on the fix-r-upper list. Craig

Looks really nice and thanks for sharing. I've a 1/4 scale I'd like to start building but need to get a few other projects done first. I'll be looking forward to any updates. Craig .

Have you tried looking at Northern Tool, Harbor Freight, Tractor Supply. Not sure if any of these supply companys are near you. Try E-bay, might find one from the good ol days. Craig

Could be a very nice piece, not to mention a hole lot more enjoyable, put together and running. So let's see some of your other engines. th_wwp Craig

Harold, the points do run off the crank. I watched the video of your engine, and the speed differance isn't that great between the to. I'm running about 475+/- at the crank and you're about 430+/- at the cam. Maybe the profile of your point cam or maybe too strong of a spring on the points. The...

Nice build you've got going on. Judging the piston shape, looks as if there's going to be some high compression in the future. Craig

Nice looking job, please keep us posted. I've had a few full sized F/M engines over the years, nice running engines. Craig

Thanks for the positive responces, also thanks to whom ever straightened out my wimpy you-tube link to the nice one that's in place now. Harold; Ray made comment about your issues, but I didn't experience any of those problems. I already had a set of points installed, so I figured I'd try that...

Very cool looking, with all the moving parts it's just neat to watch these run. Thanks for sharing. Craig
