Hi guys,
I have built the Kerzel Hit and Miss engine and am having serious problems getting it to run. I have good compression (bounce) and have tried the carburettor with petrol (gasoline to you USA guys) and I have tried the Jan Ridder vapour carb but no luck. The spark plug has been tested at presure and the engine does try to run with the odd cough. Any ideas?
Also, should I set the exhaust to open from BDC or before? The cam profile seems a bit quick.
What did happen to Dave Kerzel? I have tried emails and the site but it seems the Florida site is going terminal.
Any help would be most appreciated.
