I ran the engine for a short time and as I had expected it got hot really fast.
I have a 4" fan blade that I will install tomorrow to see how much that helps.

YES IT DOES RUN !!


Thanks for looking

That’s pretty cool!!
A unique engine for sure.

I installed a 4" fan blade on the engine. It is over driven at 2 to 1 and as it does help with the cooling it is not as much as I had hoped for.

I was concerned that the long o-ring belt would whip around when running but that is not a problem.

I also installed a couple of handles.

I believe the engine would benefit from larger flywheels and heavier intake springs as there is some blow back into the carb. I would like to see the rpm dropped by at least half as it is running around 1500 rpms now. That would help greatly with the cooling also but for now I will take a time out.

I'm wondering if you could make more fins on the upper and lower sections or even add more fins to it?
