Thanks Peter MNay sent me what I needed for drawings. The cam is ok. The engine came with a buzz coil. Will that work for this type of engine? Or do I need a single spark high tension coil? I am new to this, I usually work on steam engines. Wayne

I had the understanding the the buzz coil and the plug fires when the points come into contact NOT when they separate? Am I wrong?

How do I set this so it only fires at TDC?

Thank you Catminer for sending me the info I need to confirm Cam is ok. I am new to hit and miss engines and what confuses me is that using this cam with a Buzz coil t it provides spark during many of the 4 strokes except the exhaust cycle. I thought it should only fire once when the engine is...

I bought a Coles Corliss engine on the weekend. Prior to this my only experience was with building Stuart type engines. The Corliss valve gear is quite different and I’m having problems wrapping my head around how it works. The covers on the back side of the valves are missing and I really have...

Thanks for the info! Don’t know what I’m doing with it yet. Maybe sell. Yes missing a few parts but I think all the main parts are there. East can be made no problems. wayne

Hi Richard, where are you located? wayne

Could I ask how much that set of castings went for on EBay? I have just acquired a set but not really my thing so I may sell them. Thanks wayne
