Hi Steamchick, FYI gloplug engines run on methanol/castor oil and sometimes added nitromethane, not kerosene. Miniature compression ignition engines most often are run on ether / castor oil. 😃
Hey Than, the volume looks better but now the spray pattern looks a bit uneven (could be the video). Assuming that the spray pattern is ok, I would work on getting a finer mist. Once again it could be ok but I can’t really tell with the video.
That sounds like the way to go mate. Keep all your test results mate. I’m sure that there will be guys in the future that would be very grateful. You’ll save them a great deal of work. I’m looking forward to hearing the beast run. It will be an awesome achievement 😃
Hey Than, as an old diesel mechanic I must say that spray pattern looks excellent. The only question I have is have you been able to measure the volume of fuel that you are spraying per cycle? I might be wrong but it looks like a lot of fuel based on the engine size?
Your email address is still not working. The second email I sent bounced just like the first!! Do you have another email address? My email is [email protected], please forward a catalogue with pricing for your engines. Thank you
I have to say Mayhugh1, every time I look at one of your posts, I immediately realise just how inadequate my machining skills are in comparison to yours lol. A fantastic job you are doing. Can’t wait to hear it running.
I placed this post earlier but it seems to have mixed in with Ken I’s post. I was always taught that kerosine is the best cutting fluid for aluminium. You don’t need a lot of it, but it always results in a beautiful finish, but that is assuming that you have a sharp cutting tool and the correct...
Hi Than! I’m sorry to hear about the situation over there mate. I’ll make sure you are in my prayers. Take care of yourself and please let me know if I can assist in any way!
