Details! Details!

Is it hit and miss, or is it throttled? Where did you get the castings? Did you work from and existing design, or did you design it your self?

It looks great. Any chance of posting a video so we can see it run?  Thumbsup

Thank you both for the replies. Tom the castings are put out by Debolt Machine. It is a hit and miss, and the prototype was built by Star Engine of New York City and there is one on display at the Coolspring Power Museum in Pennsylvania.

I'm having trouble posting a video, but I do have it on U-TUBE. Just do a search for "Model of a Star Gasoline Engine".

VERY nice!!! A hit and miss is on my to do list, but might be a while till it works it way to the top.
Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
