Hi!
Here is video of my Wright J-5 "1/4 scale" from the drawing by K.E.Olsryd. It's 90% finished. Need to make the tube for the pushrod. Also want to make a new distributor like the one on the drawing with cables that have steel mesh as noise isolator outside. It's very easy to start and run well at low and high RPM. Had problems with the ignition sensor. Was quickly destroyed. Moved the minus pole to the ignition to the distributor housing, hasn't broken anything after that.
Also a video showing what happend if you have bad isolation between the sparkplug cap and sparkplug, and how i fix the problem on my very cheape DIY caps.
Regards Gunnar!
