    Micrometer won't turn on

    Best to use high quality cells. Even SR44 can come in a variety of materials. Alkaline are rubbish so silver oxide are the ones I use here.

    Cam/valve timing...

    110 degrees is a good start.

    Where to buy HT wire for spark plug in mainland Europe?

    Belden cable from RSComponents. I imagine others would have it also. Rated at 5KV https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/belden-inc/8899-010100/7007047

    Model engine CDI easy and cheap

    As I imagine you already know, it's why interrupts are kept as short as possible. As for delays, blink without delay.

    Arduino Rotary Table for Dummies

    Just started to read through the project and came across this oddball reference (strange numbering) Is it something to do with my browser not being set to a particular setting or what...?

    Make small glow plug for diesel engine : Is it possible ?

    Englishman George Luhrs used to make some incredibly small engines and components including small glow plugs. Other than that we used to use glow inserts on rc pylon racing engines. Most model diesels dont use a plug, just ether, kero and castor oil.

    How I made my piston rings. No heat

    2 thou per inch on air cooled engines.

    How I made my piston rings. No heat

    No thanks...I'll stick to the heat treated ring with adaptor for final turning to size/round later.

    Tungsten tipped rivets

    If you were to use transistor assist, there would be no requirement for anything like the point material. Same for hall effect.

    Effective muffler for a two-stroke model aeroplane engine.

    Obviously you need to do some more study.

    Effective muffler for a two-stroke model aeroplane engine.

    Built plenty of 2 stroke mufflers using thin wall stainless as found in curtain rod material. Works fine, weight around the same as commercial aluminium. Silver solder together with cadmium blue tip. Care must be taken not to overheat the stainless during this process.

    Hoglet ignition

    Old guy called Doc, posts in here from time to time, used a dual arrangement (on his Hoglet) of the enclosed pdf file (original from way back when.) I made up a pcb layout of just one circuit ( you'll need 2) as he doesn't always post too much detail.

    Model engine CDI easy and cheap

    Just be aware that using those crappy breadboards can, in many instances, give you bad connections and you can chase problems all over not realising it.

    Model engine CDI easy and cheap

    I also have a circuit using a 12V Ford cop coil, a few components including a hall effect. Works well.
