Thanks!

E Thanks John.

This is another Kerzel engine built from plans made available by the designer, Mr. Kerzel. It has a bore of about 3/4 inch and a stroke of almost an inch. It is running on propane.

It looks like you have a good start. I completed a Kerzel this year, it was a fun project, but I'm still not able to get it to run for anything longer than a few seconds. I'm sure I will solve that problem though. At first run attempt, I had major problems with the mechanical points as shown...

I was having trouble with the transistor ignition circuit with a hall sensor on my still-in-progress Kerzel Engine. After 5 or more good ignition sparks, the circuit shut down. If I shut off the power to the board, then turned it back on, the same thing would happen. After switching parts...

Thanks for the tips guys, I goofed up the spring and have to get more wire. The wire was winding up on my .095" mandrel just fine, but I had to touch it as it was winding (duh) which caused the wire to overlap the previous coils which spoiled it. It's surprising how much wire it takes to...

I needed some music wire for making springs for the Kerzel hit-and-miss engine that I am building. The plans called for wire measuring 0.010 inches in diameter for winding the springs on the regulator. The smallest I could find at the hardware store was 0.015 inches. Not wanting to spend $20...

Thanks Brian, I think that I will take your advice and make cast iron rings. I will learn more that way anyway. Paul
