Karl 4 stroke hit and miss engine made from Bengs Modellbau kit. (I uploaded this video again, because the original video is not available for some reason)
Any idea of how many watts or hp this can produce continuously? Im thinking of running on propane and charging a house battery on a sailboat on cloudy days.
Lovely engine, I have just finished my Karl Hit and miss and have spent all day trying to get it to run, it runs now at fast speed. Struggle to get it to run slow though... all takes time!
Thank you for your comment! It was not easy to adjust the air and fuel mixture... For a small (and fairly primitive) carburetor is almost impossible to achieve the 14: 1 air to gasoline ratio. I solved this by using petroleum as fuel. The Coleman camping fuel is ideal. By using petroleum, the fuel - air ratio will decrease to 9:1, and the small carburetor can handle the challenge. It worked for me, I hope it will help you too!
Why is your engine running soooo well? What fuel do you use? Piston with rings? Spark advance? Valve timing? What is your secret? Every spark leads to a ignition, perfekt. I am stocked.
Hooohooohooo! Some difficult questions... The most important is the carburettor and the fuel. For 1 part regular gasoline you need 14 part air. With a small (and primitive) carburettor is almost impossible to achieve this mix ratio. Here is available a camping stove fuel from Coleman, what is a kind of petroleum. This is perfect for model engines! Probably this type of fuel is available in Austria too. You have to add 1 - 2 % WD40 to the fuel, like a mix for a 2 stroke engine. For this fuel you will need only 1:10 part air. Here is a link where you could see the fuel: www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/coleman-fuel-naphtha-0760044p.html#srp If you would like some more details, please give me your email address, and I will send some pictures as well...
I'm glad you like it! As fuel I use a mix of Coleman fuel and 4-5 drops of wd40 on each refueling. This is perfectly proven, better than gasoline. (Even the smell of exhaust gas is much better)

Beautifully made. However, I can't agree with other commentators that it is running particularly "smoothly". It still quite frequently shows multiple 'gulps' before firing, which it wouldn't if the carburation and scavenging were just right. I'm puzzled by the way it doesn't do any 'misses' at all when running at maximum speed; it's almost as if there is some kind of load on the engine. Anyway, I repeat: it is beautifully made and finished.
In the future it will be hard for European manufacturers to compare with or even to beat approaching Chinese machines (offensively offered at some 50 % of Karl's kit price).
I agree with you, but this hobby is about quality, not quantity. I prefer to build a Bengs model or something that existed sometime even is expensive, rather than buy 3 cheap chinese designs...I didn't built any of my models, because the kit or material was cheap. I did them because I liked them . I have to pick projects carefully, because I have very little free time. And I'm not alone with that, I'm sure.
Id like to get one if these but with a starting mechanism just like the lanz bulldog tractor engine did with using a shot gun shell to start it but i wanted one to use 22 cal blanks to start one
You need a Kurfurts flame eater engine, with a modified burner. The casting kit and all the materials are available at Bengs Modellbau, but you need a well equipped workshop to build it. And a lots of time.
Yes, they still selling this kit, raw materials, milled parts and electronics. You need a well equipped workshop for machining all the parts, and to assemble it. The kit is available at www.bengs-modellbau.de
The description is pretty straightforward, and the milling is already done . It wasn't hard to do, and the Bengs modellbau website has a step-by-step building instruction in case you get stuck.
Sigh....these jewels of engineering from an era that valued aesthetics with functionality are the very essence of steam punk in all it's brazen glory.......I just remembered that I have a plan to build one of these type engines completely from raw materials so I might just get off my butt from watching too much UTUBE and make one and use this video to embellish the design.

It's a beautiful model, but is it capable of performing any useful everyday work? No, I'm not trolling. Can these small scale engines actually be used for any real-world purpose?
Unfortunately I can't answer your question. I never used it for real work, it just drove a generator and once drove my watchmakers lathe as well. ( the power of the electric motor is 0.2 kW ) Of course, it has quite a lot of power like any 15 cubic centimeter engine, but I wouldn't recommend using it for everyday work. I’m sure it wasn’t designed for that.
There is a huge untapped market out there because you cant find completed engines like this anywhere and thousands of us want one. Come on you business men get some built and on the market and I will be your first customer.
*69MrSjani* You are saying that *you are ready to sell this hit n miss model gas engine,* But you are not responding in the proper manner 😛😅 Please be more active , 😁😁
This runs so much better than others I’ve seen! Extremely smooth (as smooth as a hit and miss can be)
Exactly this is, how a model miss & hit engine should run and sound !
I'm glad you like it! Sorry to notice the comment late ....
Absolute perfection...thanks for sharing. I am most impressed with the build quality!!!
Thank you for your comment. I'm glad you like it!!
One beautiful engine. You should be proud of your skills.
What an exquisite model !
Thanks for sharing 😊👍🏻
All though made with basis in a kit; you again make quality-improvements; making this hit& miss -engine something unique. Great build !
Thank you, I'm glad you like it!
Loosen your governor springs and it will coast longer like a hit and miss should. It’s a beautiful engine, very nice build.
Thank you for your comment! I'm going to try your suggestion!
Beautifully made engine, well done

Sir, that is a stunning model. Beautifully made. A question: What colour green is that?. Regards Kevin
I'm glad you like it! The colour is olive green, RAL 6003. Regards Simon.
Where did you find this version with that exhaust and water cooling?
Or is it custom made?
It is custom made from the original kit, with Kurfurst water cooling system.
Excellent build! I am currently making a Farm Boy hit-and-miss engine. What fuel are you using in yours?
I'm glad you like it! As fuel I use a mix of Coleman fuel and 4-5 drops of wd40 on each refueling. This is perfectly proven, better than gasoline.
(Even the smell of exhaust gas is much better)
@@69MrSjani thanks! I’ll give it a try when mine is finished.
@@danmartinrc Mate if you can get Marvel Mystery Oil where you live that's even better than the WD40, just 5 or 6 ml in a litre.
lovely model!
I'm glad you like it!
This hit and miss engine is so steady
Where are these sold?
That is a great build. Do you by chance sell these completed engines?
Sometimes I selling some engines when I need to finance a new project. I'll let you know when I planning to sell it.

You need a Kurfurts flame eater engine, with a modified burner.
The casting kit and all the materials are available at Bengs Modellbau, but you need a well equipped workshop to build it. And a lots of time.
The lowest power nail gun cartridge may be small enough but I'm not convinced. You only need a very small charge. Maybe a shotgun primer?
What RAL Color is the green?
Olive green, 6003
this is beautiful!! would you be willing to sell it?
I'm glad you like it! I will let you know when I going to sell it.
เอามาใช้งานได้หรือเปล่าครับ
are these even really safe for indoor use?
If you like the smell of exhaust fumes, yes!
If they are selling this, where do i buy it?
Yes, they still selling this kit, raw materials, milled parts and electronics. You need a well equipped workshop for machining all the parts, and to assemble it. The kit is available at www.bengs-modellbau.de

The kit includes a pipe that is honed to exact size. You need to machine only the outside of pipe.

What about a drip oil feed for the cylinder?
At the moment, there's NO lubrication getting there!
Hi, just design only, the piston does not need to be oiled.

nice little engine, might be able to power an ice cream freezer if speed was reduced sufficiently.

What? Only two speeds?
Next time, show us what it sounds like at 50% throttle.
It's a hit and miss engine, you can't really throttle them. You either fire every stroke or you let the governor choose when to fire.
