Nemett Lynx 15 cc 4 Stroke I/C Petrol Engine

[gus]

Hi Gus, are you using petrol or shellite (coleman fuel) to run the engine.

Paul.

Would like to try Coleman but not available here. Used Shell ''95''. The Jerry Can is about dried up .May go over to ''Shell V Power.'' Will report perforamnce
drop or improvement.
Will be away Nov 6-----10 for the "Floating Lantern" Festival where Single Women launch same and make wish for ideal husband. Taking fotos.
At 71 Gus is too old to qualify. :rant:
Happily married to Nellie for 43 years.
We have same festival and same lighted lanterns in China but not seen it yet.

I also bought the Model Engineering magazine a few months ago. I have started the engine. So far I've built the Cylinder sleeve, the air cooled cylinder and have started the crank case. My local supplier didn't have 2 1/2" square stock so I bought some 3" square and have whittled it down to size. I should have the crank case finished this week.
For each piece, I've made my own Autocad drawings, and converted them to imperial measurements. This gives me a in-depth look at each part before I start cutting metal.

Hello guys

Just found and read this post with great interest and a certain awe!

I aspire to build this engine once my workshop is built and operational, next year. Conditions are too cramped and cold until then as winter has arrived.
This post has given me great encouragement and impetus.My materials collection is gradually meeting requirements.

What I have seen though is, I feel, a fitting memorial to the genious we recently lost. He will be very greatly missed.

I wish all a very happy Christmas and a prosperous and healthy new year.

Derek

I've got a good start on the engine. The front nose is finished, the air cooled cylinder is finished, the cylinder liner is finish. I made a crankcase, but broke off a tap in one hole and a drill bit in another, and wasn't able to them out easily, so I'm re-making the crank case. I'm doing autocad drawing of each part as I make it, with inch dimensions, which is a real pain. The only probem with metrics is when I work on the lathe, and need to crank in a few thou on the dials. So far is is fairly easy to build. Just don't use 6-32 screws unless you have too.

hblair--You're crankcase is aluminum, right? haven't you tried the alum dissolved in water trick to chemically dissolve the tap and drill?---Brian

Paul,
Your engine looks good on Avatar. I am still looking for a piece of hard wood to make the base,Lacquer it and put on a prop. Prop now on my PC Desk.
Still messing with the Sander and Power Feed or rather enjoying them like a young kid.


My GrandChildren want battery power pencil sharpener for Christmas. Advised their mum, I will also include lotsa lead pencils too. This is jolly well knowing what we did as young kids with the very first desk mount rotary sharpeners. Lotsa reasons to keep sharpening the pencils too often and too many times.

Take Care when driving. Too many drink/drivers on the road for Christama..:rant:. Was stopped by police while driving on the Great Ocean Road for breath test. Your police was quite nice fellow and remarked I did well on breath test. Gus not a day time beer/wine man.

Hi Gus, looks like we both have too many things to work on at once, I recently bought a camping trailer, although it was in pretty good condition, I still wanted to paint it a bit as it had a lot of stone chips on the paintwork. It's given me another project to work on, here's a link to the manufactures web site, http://tracktrailer.com.au/tvan/ although ours is a late 2005 model. There are plenty of off road areas that we want to explore still, been around Australia with a very good off-road caravan checking out the outback areas, but that was a few years ago.

Pencils won't last very long with an electric sharpener, I use to have a hand crank one, it's amazing how fast it eats pencils.

Nothing has changed with the random drink driving checks, probably even more this time of the year, and nowadays looking out for drugged drivers as well. I'm like you, don't drink during the day generally, a beer or wine at night is nice, although with me being on dialysis, my fluid intake is serverly restricted. Police here generally are great, maybe I'm a bit biased as I have 2 sons in the police force.

Paul.

Gus, Model Engine Builder magazine had a design for a nice mag that was quite a bit smaller than the Minimag one, think it was called the Vieti-mag.

The John Vietti magneto worked OK but would not start a cold engine. The improved design, by Don Grimm, will. You can find it in Issue # 10 of Model Engine Builder magazine.

Planee construir este motor el próximo año. Planos comprados y Best of Model Engineer, revista especial de otoño de 2013 de 100 páginas.
Todavía me pregunto si estoy masticando mucho más de lo que puedo tragar y digerir. ¿Tengo todas las habilidades y determinación necesarias para completar desde cero? Aún no he saltado. Tener los pies muy fríos.
El motor tiene aproximadamente la misma dimensión general que el motor Hit & Miss de Rupnow, pero con transmisión por árbol de levas en cabeza. La altura total es de 165 mm.
La revista tiene muy buenos artículos que guían al lector paso a paso o más bien

Plan to build this engine next year. Purchased plans and Best of Model Engineer, Fall 2013 special magazine of 100 pages.Still wondering if I am chewing off way more than I can swallow and digest. Do I have all the skills and determination needed to complete from scratch? Haven't jumped in yet. Having very cold feet.The engine is about the same overall dimension as Rupnow's Hit & Miss engine, but with overhead camshaft drive. Overall height is 165mm.The magazine has very good articles that guide the reader step by step or ratherphoto by photo.Hello Masters/Teachers. Your kind advice is requested.

I built this engine as a beginner. Malcolm's intructions make it easy to follow.

Good luck

Pete
