a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New year to all of you here on HMEM I was on the run lately, but I could not fail to wish you all thank you ariz (aristide from Italy)

very nice shop, well organized, and yes, those T-rails seem to be very useful you have 2 workbenches plus the one where the machines stand: a luxury! ;D

wow, this is another great thread that I can't miss I was watching at the MLA diesel of quinette a minutes ago, and now I find another IC engine, a 4 cylinder too too many treasures in this forum :big: Kel your start is impressive, very good work: I'm hooked I too hope that in the future you...

very instructive thread Bob, thank you I like (and hate too!) these little diesel engines: I too built a 'Mate' some times ago, but it didn't run really well, only sporadic revs occasionally I'll follow this thread with interest to learn how to build a better diesel next time :D

Bob I don't post anything but replies to somebody from long, at least you do some little progress :) go ahead mate (with your time of course)

hudmut I don't know anything about supercharging a model engine, but I know enough about doing it on a real engine so, when you eventually will have it completed, remember that the engine needs very much more fuel to run and the ignition must be retarded several degrees or the engine stuns at...

my congrats to Orrin for this great piece of work :bow: I do agree with the decision of the mods and the new rules that supervise the choice for the POM this great forum find always its way to move forward in the best way thank you all

hey, you said in the video that the engine doesn't have a lot of torque, but seeing it moving that huge trailer is very impressive nice work!

have you tried this site: http://www.lathes.co.uk/ ? there are almost all the lathes of the world, but you need to go through the site deeply to find out yours

congrats putputman, I love IC engines and everyone who can build one has my esteem :bow: congrats to the other nomenees too, very well done projects :bow:

It's a chinese machine. DM imports them, perhaps paints them too, anything else... however the BV20 is an old, widespread design, so find parts would not be a problem there are better machines, it all depends on price, if it's a bargain get it, otherwise try again

it makes sense to me! the idea is more than interesting and it seems that you could implement it :bow: well done till now, best wishes for a complete success

thank you Bob G I'm honored that you made your first post in answer to my problems, and reading your experience with the Mate encouraged me to continue in the attempts to run it. I'm just doing exactly what you did: today I started to make another piston, because I suspect that most of the...

thank you too Cid, sure 1 liter is better than 25!!! I'll report the news, if there will be any

hummm... the differences in the specs are very interesting... so it is the order of mixing the fuel... hummmm here I can find kerosene only in drum of 25 liter, but the desire to see the engine running is too much for stopping now :) ok, I'll give it another try thank you Bob

thank you Bob I had heard that kerosene and diesel fuel are nearly the same... Kermit I'll try what you have suggested (in a couple of days, because my right arm is sore for several attempts to start the engine ;D) thanks again

you may be proud of the new shop, it's really a good place, lot of space and light and fantastic machines!!! your work has paid off

Petr not only you build very beautiful and good running engines, but having built them with relatively small, simple tools is the evidence of your excellent skills congratulations :bow:

...and two!!! 2 engines that don't run at all are a very depressing experience. I start to think that I'm simply not able to make IC engines. steam engines, or rather steam engines running on air, are within my reach, but anything more complex is out of my reach. this is very sad, but it is a...

congrats Zee, sorry for the delay, but yesterday I was hit by car and I spent all afternoon in the emergency room a very exciting video, although it is running on air, I'm sure that you can solve the problems with steam a great success anyway :bow:
