Kerzel hit and miss as my first gas engine

[actinaria]

Good morning everyone. I have built quite a few steam engines and I’ve been monitoring this forum for quite a while. I finally decided to pull the trigger and start a gas powered engine.

I like the size and look of the Kerzel.

Hi, I have just decided to make this i.c. engine and just downloaded David Kerzels' original drawings and construction notes plus Julius de Waals drawings. Hopefully things will progress. As it is early days I have still to decide on the ignition system but from what I have see it will propably end up as solid state with Hall Effect sensors.

I would really like to build a Kerzel, but am afraid it would distract from the other things I have going on.

Great build; thanks for all the photos; good stuff.

Well, I didn’t like how the top turned out after a miss-read so I milled it flat and made the brass top. Wait, I mean I did it that way to look better.
