Hi all interested,
Already in 2004 I made a 2-cylinder flame-eater with extenal valves and overhead rockers. This engine can run well but only if the drive system for the two slide valves are made well and properly adjusted. But the design of this drive system was fairly complex and it was also quite difficult to properly adjust it. It is a critical element in that original design where some modellers stumbled about as far as I received confirmations.
After ten years, I took this flame-eater again out of the closet and simplified this drive system and improved it significantly at the same time.
See the concerning page for this MK2 version on my web site:

and the YouTube video with trouble shoot demos at the end of it:

As usually the CAD plans are available for everyone interested.
Friendly greetings from Holland,
