Hi Dave have been watching yourchannel for a number of years now and the enthusiasm I just Witness remind me when I first started watching I think you've got your mojo back welcome back
Man what a score ! .. Those fox engines are getting hard to find in any shape at all .. I am waiting to see the 1971 engine NOS , ENJOYED .. Ya got me curious now ..LOL..
This video makes me feel a whole lot better about a box of engines I acquired a while back. Enjoy your videos, looking forward to seeing what might come about with these.
One suggestion before you run in the marine engine is to adapt a small niple to the water faucet and connect a regular silicone pipe from the niple to the engine cooling system. I'm not sure if the propeller will take away all of the heat.
Yeah, I was thinking of trying to circulate water through it some way. In reality the prop wash over the engine will be more than adequate to keep it cool for the very short runs I plan on doing just to make a few videos. Heck, I could even hook up a manual fuel pump and just crank it to circulate water through it using a small bucket of water.
These engines are soo coroded because they used a lot of Silicon mixed with the aluminum. Silicon makes the Aluminum more fluid and that helps to get these fine shapes from casting. Id d try to use an ammonia based house cleaner with a toothbrush to clean these engines but on the exterior only. Ammonia cleaner takes away a little from the metal if left too long.Also can cause bad fumes so best to use outdoor.
Yeah, at least I got 3 definite runners out of the lot. According to Chuck and an engine he described to me, his late father also had an Enya VT-240 that was completely destroyed.... I think there were many other very nice, at one time, engines in the collection. Such a shame really.
Have you ever tried a product called Metal rescue I have used on seized engines it is amazing it even cleans off the baked on fuel residue. I usually disassemble what I can easiest like carb back cover and head if possible otherwise drop them in over night next day they are rust free and won’t harm paint. Good luck hope you at least try on some of the really bad ones you may be amazed I was
No I have never heard of or used it before. From what I just read about it , it is very good at removing rust from metal. However 90% of these engines are made of aluminum and not steel. Unless this is readily available at al local store I most likely will not get any since I do not do this sort of thing often enough to justify spending $25 for a gallon of it.
Well I hope you give it a try I have found that it works great on parts like carbs that have precision machined parts and the steel parts rust inside the aluminum parts and also bearings and cranks and also on 4 stroke engine where the cam lifters get rusted inside the engine case. it is available at Home Depot and AutoZone. I will be glad to see you restore engines again I have learned a lot about how to rebuild my own engines from your videos. Thanks Andy
I forgot whose channel i watched, they were running a C02 engine i want to say i saw it on the petrincic brothers channel, but i'm going to go back and scan through their channel.
I had never seen such a bunch of sorry looking engines. I have a feeling you'll make some of them operational in no time. I know you got ride of most of the engines that you had accumulated over the years. Somehow the engine gods are working against you and are coming up with creative ways to send engines your way.
Look forward to the makeover for then. I still on the hunt for the RCV 90sp👍🏻
Can’t wait to see that co2 powered engine for sure.

The engine at 5:22 is a Thunder tiger .10 FSR. It is a clone of the OS .10 FSR
Ok, cool. Great info. I really need to try to save that one then.

@@dmrcflyr2 that sounds good, they need just a small flow of water. Looking forward to seeing the video!
@@dmrcflyr2 Just let it drip throu ;-)
NICE!!

Score!
fire um up, fire um up!!
What is in the 1/2A bin? I see a lot of Cox mills. Maybe they can be salvaged...
Its heartbreaking to see such badly treated engines
I do not think this was intentional. When a roof fails, who is to blame?
@@dmrcflyr2 Good to see you back David! What I meant was, I would have been heartbroken to find those in such a state.

Yes, they ran one fairly recently.
Bury them in Kroil .
Now thats a box o challenges there David, if anyone can get them running, you can, nice score.
We will see.....
maybe you can help me
I am in need of a cox 010 cylinder
do you know anyone that has one for sale?
No, I do not. Sorry.
@@dmrcflyr2
no problems good sir
