The latest information on my engine.the running in has now passed the one hour mark, the progress made has all been in the adjustment
of the carburettor and the supply pressure and the demand valve.
the engine has needed no attention at all.
I have not had to alter any of the design of the carburettor but have constantly been reducing the supply pressure until it
reads 1/4 lb on the gauge but I am not happy that the gauge is reliable at that level so I may have to make a water gauge to measure accurately .
I have managed to get the idle down to 800 RPM with good throttle response and good recovery to idle, I think that this is a average speed for a small engine without going to a heavy or large diameter flywheel.
I am convinced that gas is the answer for small engines, Jet sizes are large and needle valves are not required to control the mixture simple flat ended screws are sufficient to control the air / fuel ratio.
I have a new video but I am at a loss to get it on this site but if you You tube 32 x 40 gas engine you will find it or go to
Brian Hogger channel.
I will have to learn more about computers ETC it causes me a lot of problems but at 74 I simply don't have the time.
I am at the moment doodling again on the drawings for a 5 cylinder radial so be warned You just have more of my rubbish to contend with.
Brian.
