    Final video: the engine smokes a bit because I put oil in the petrol and the oil level is high, the engine is still running in

    Some photos of the engine being completed . I installed the new intake manifolds and improved the pick up supports , the engine works better ,in a few days the new video

    3) Intake manifolds with different geometry this is the old manifold, inlet hole for carburetor 12 mm the new manifold, tin-welded and sandblasted brass tubes , inlet hole for carburetors 6 or 8 mm

    2) Flywheel connected with crankshaft and adjusting screw for adjustable advance , the pick up support can rotate through the two bearings even while the engine is running

    Here are the improvements I have planned to make the engine less rough, with a more constant progression from idle to max 1)Aluminum ignition pick up supports with 2 bearings instead of plastic and a single bearing

    The first pops The engine works, but some improvements are needed Ignition system: the pick ups are not stable It is necessary to redo the supports, now they are 3D printed in plastic (PLA), I redo them with aluminum The intake manifold ducts are too large, I had designed them for a 12-14 mm...

    I confirm that electronic ignitions make a lot of electrical noise, not only the GY6 but generally all those for engine models. For example I had a bad experience with the 3D printer, it was printing for over 12 hours, I started my little Demon V8, the printer froze and I had to completely redo...

    The coil I am using is for motorcycle, I think it can only work in conjunction with the GY6 electronic ignition Regarding the electronic goniometer it is composed of 2 parts, a rotation sensor and a display I use it for camshaft timing with this procedure: I fix the protractor the protractor to...

    Very interesting your analysis, I will take note . in my engine, 2 out of 6 cylinders are in the intake phase at the same time. Let me explain better: one cylinder starts the intake phase while another cylinder is completing the intake phase, this roughly means that 1.3 cylinders are sucking...

    I spent several days doing the tests, ignition and carburetors. Regarding the carburetors I have tried many different sizes, from Venturi 14 mm to Venturi 7.6 mm I thought that for a 26 mm diameter piston and 9 mm valves a large carburetor was needed, at least 11 -14 mm, in fact I learned that...

    Ignition , distributor caps with cables and 12 spark plugs I screwed the spark plugs on an aluminum plate, I mounted the distributor caps on the engine and by rotating it with the cordless drill I checked the firing order 1-9-5-12-3-8-6-10-2-7-4-11 Ignition test

    Check for piston and valve leaks ,tappet thickness adjustment, valve timing, engine painting Before timing all the cams I checked the air leaks once again with this instrument, it is composed of 2 pressure gauges that measure the difference in pressure between the air inlet and leaks through...

    This forum is a valuable source of technical information, experiences, and knowledge from around the world that are fundamental to improving our projects, our hobby. I will take some ideas from your designs for my future model engines. I may have lost some information but I have not seen what...

    ok, I understand, you refer to the distributor, in this engine the oil level is very low, the pump sends it through the crankshaft, I don't think it will arrive inside the distributor, if the first tests highlight this problem I will put a small oil seal.

    Hi Michael The crankshaft has 2 oil seals at the ends, has 1 axial stop on each side and rotates on bronze bushings, but the bearings should work too, I have already built the Bugatti engine on bearings. About the Hall sensor applied on the CDI, I did some tests on the lathe and it works well...

    Ignition, first step For this engine model I prefer to put 2 ignitions, one for the six cylinders on the right, one for the 6 cylinders on the left. If this engine does 3000 rpm (I hope) 36,000 sparks per minute will be needed. I think that dividing the necessary sparks by 2 ignitions will give...
