Help Support Home Model Engine Machinist Forum:
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.
Thanks for following along and making comments and likes.

I'm wondering if you could make more fins on the upper and lower sections or even add more fins to it?
That would be a possibility Robert but I like a slow running engines so slowing it down 50% would reduce the temperature to a much lower level.
I will keep that in mind tho.
Thank you
