Can someone please help on this problem i have on a scratch built Flame licker Engine ......... It will not run at all ...... The cylinder is castiron..... 1 inch bore ..... 2.5 inch long ...... Piston Is castiron ....Stroke 1.8 inch.... The timing is correct , working from BDC ...... Valve closing just before BDC and open before TDC ...I have tried different positions of the timming.... Its all fully Ball raced and with a slide vale on the side....... And runs very freely ...... When i put the methes burner by the inlet hole and spin the flywheel , it just blows out the flame............. I have tried all positions with the Meths burner , but no luck ........ I have even made a new piston in brass just to see if that would any diffrence but to no avail .......... This is my first attempt at making a Flame licker ......... Please help as i want to build other flame licker engines , but with this one not working tends to put a cloud on the project.
Please HELP .......Thanks
Steve
