Yes they run happily on lighter fuel and many modeller hobbyists recommend it for cleanliness, however as you do add two-stroke oil (40:1) you are adding stuff so maybe not so clean burning...we have alcohol-free petrol in NZ for now so I use pump gas, 95 octane plus two stroke oli

@@ThomasPCGuruENGINES sorry to be a pain, but would the lighter fuel need to have oil mixed or does it have enough lubricity already?

Not too bad smell, especially hit and miss which fire less often than a continuous runner, and tiny displacement

So nice

Yeah the others in the house should be used to the blowtorch occasionally lol You're right, it couldn't take that kind of heat forever and most of these model Stirling engines reach a heat "plateau" where the temperature is too hot for best performance, but not getting any hotter. Excepting the blow torch which would melt it I think

Bwaaaaaahahahaha "pro tip" my man yes. I will try that! Than k you.... :)

Yes, if you want gteh VERY best "heat of the hand" engine get one by Kontax UK, model KS90T is simply hypnotic as well as joyous. However with today's test of these Chinese Stirling engines, I think these high temp engines are now better than Kontax's high temp ones. My Kontax Rhombic was a bit sloppy

@@ThomasPCGuruENGINES will check them out. The Chinese ones are getting really good with fiber tolerance and better running . Which is great to see

Sure is! thanks!!! :)

Wha....? Dear Mr 212, surely you are not out of the tooobing game!?!? ....or, maybe you're out of this video in disgust?

Yeah I've looked at this and wondered if I can switch them round. Not that simple due to crankshaft lengths. I'd like it to be right too

M19 is great but I think is too small for the governor mechanism, slightest wear changes things. I just finished a massive repeair epic of this motor and the last thing I had to fix was old oil thickening in the intake valve stem, cleaned that out. Yeah every time I use it it's different. HM-01 you must spend the 20 mins or so bending the middle of that contact leaf to delay your ignition to tdc. However, it is a jumper :)

Thanks for the tip! Will; mtry for sure Garet

Dude I overstated that...I use straight 95 octane car petrol with about 3 to 5 % motor mower 2 stroke oil added. Oil is ASE30 motor mower oil. If they don't start first pop, do yo the needles until you feel resistance then back it open 1/4 to a half turn. These days it would be poor luck indeed if it didn't run

Yes this idea or a spring was forming in my mind. Good idea...as a hit n miss guy I am a bit late to variable speed carbs, I still struggle to find the sweet spot but I guess I enjoy the fiddling

Hey man! Thanks for the support and comment. It's a classic engine and I'm really happy with the new model to replace my unpainted one. I learned a lot too. :)

@ThomasPCGuruENGINES keep up the great work mate 👍

@GarbagePlateROC seems.like you getting something out of this saga too 😂

Guys, I have tried to make it clear I feel respect and support to Jin who kick started the ic vintage model engine market and is just a Good Bloke with a Family, Doing His Best. For this video about the painted engines, I offered him my support. I am a bit of a fanboy. We email a bit. I am NOT going the route of an affiliate; I don't need 5% hence he can offer a higher discount. All the threads of this are in the videos...anyhoo, I am NOT getting paid I am supporting the hobby I enjoy. However, I did get my first free engine to review from EngineDIY recently, the M96 Oddball. Pretty exciting step for a youtuber...take a guess how much I have spent on this hobby? It gets to the stage you think long and hard before getting another engine; but its the prep and customizing new engines I really enjoy. So the odd free engine at this stage will be accepted!! Stirlingkit are sending me some kids engines to review soon. I accept it may change the aspect of my videos. I always was positive about these models though, for what they are...and my skills with them continue to improve. Same as my video skills. Finally, Jin gave me a decent price on these painted models...I could still have sourced them elsewhere cheaper...but direct from him, at least he got the money. :)

Also, the red is deeper in real life. My camera pinked it a bit. I'll take what life offers and be happy.

Our pleasure!

Mmm good idea Fred. Aluminium is softer. Whatever you got, give it a go

Thanks for saying Hi Anthony! It is a bit different

Hey Jerry, welcome to the comments man! that engine will happily run with any oil but 30sae "small engine oil" may be the closest you can get to proper steam oil. Steam engine oil is very thick and goopy and needs heat to reach the right viscosity. Smells mighty fine too There are hobbyists supplying real steam oil, or visit your local full-size steam preservation joint with a pill bottle and beg. Seeing as they have it by the 44 gallon drum they'll probably be sympathetic, tell 'em I sent ya

Nope, because you'd still get that excess lift as the engine coasted over.

you can email service at stirlingkit or enginediy or Aliexpress (user Smurfs88 has been there years is trustworthy and good value). They are all excellent parts suppliers

Thx for the update Fred :)

@@ThomasPCGuruENGINES Ha! Managed to grab one on an ebay auction for $171 US. Except the price was Australian dollars.

Yes we can! Nice to hear from you!

It's probably my healthiest addiction, my friend :) Welcome

@@ThomasPCGuruENGINES i bought two new shelves just to load up with Stirling engines lol

That'll do it for now

Yea! Thank you. It will be interesting to see a variety of comments to this vid, by the look of it.

Love the steam tank on your channel, ua-cam.com/video/7nLJ7yb4TB0/v-deo.html . This comment is about the Russian origin of the development, ie дт54, and a lesser-known MT3

Heh, heh heh,,,sneeze. Yep, thx

:)

Yes I left some in there that was AWFUL it makes me dizzy too. It was supposed to be edited out

Thx! Am watching now

It's a hard one Henry. I get pleasure from just looking at them and when you tweak, every one is a memory. When I do runs I notice the ones that consistently start and stay running. For this puropose, and simplicity of working on them, the open crank 7cc hit and miss models are the best to run, work on and display. The v-twins probably the hardest to work on. I've found the Holt was not hard to work on given its complexity. the heads come off individually and the valves and cooling are all exposed. So are you more cautious buying new models now? Trying to look at all the pretty engines and figure out what is really a good long-term addition to your collection and interest?

@@ThomasPCGuruENGINES It's always been about picking the best one available when I have a bit of money for them. I was very excited to get the M96 for free and am saving up for the VM-01 or 02 when they release it. I would love to have the Holt for a generator rig, but it is about the largest engine I would have space for and I don't really have a good way to justify the cost. The T1 tractor is still my most expensive model and remains a favorite.

Because I have a painted version on the way. This one has no wear signs or rattles or leaks. It runs fine although I suspect it could be tunes better and the spark plugs probably need a clean.

​@ThomasPCGuruENGINES did you get the brown one ?😎

I missed the beautiful brown one. Will make do with red

@@ThomasPCGuruENGINES red will be great also 😁

Yep and these V twins are not simple to take apart and reassemble with your own gaskets...

@@ThomasPCGuruENGINES Don't need to replace the gaskets. The engine leaks are apart of the experience

Yeah that is a fact

Yep. Haven't contacted him in a while though

Yeahhhhhh.....could do I suppose but the carb reliability as it is seems a bigger problem to me. Once that is solved....thing is, I have seen a fully complete one sell here for not much more than I paid...so...I wait

Hey man! Love the comment :)

That would be ointeresting to watch. What are you hoping to do?

Hey Henry! Thanks for the update man

Of course. It might poke out a bit but will sound great
