G'day mate. With your idle, if you get a set screw the right size and a nut. Put the nut on the screw then screw into the carby and tighten your nut to stop the screw moving and you don't have to use locktite on the threads but a little flat washer between the nut and carb will stop paint being scratched off. It would be nice to see a bit more sheen on the tank. Black radiator surround? They are niiiiice little engines.
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
Great one Thomas, I guess the canera over saturate the colour and red is deeper in person. H75 is still my favorite engine I have 👍 Addtion of black is a great touch
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. :)
Beautiful Thomas, I'm waiting for a painted engine from Jin too! Incidentally, the curved spoke flywheels on the single cylinder engine are on backwards. Why the Chinese do this is beyond me, but if you look at a big horizontal engine with curved spoke flywheels, like say a Blackstone for example- the curved spokes always are fitted facing the opposite direction, to what the Chinese fit them, and it irritates me something terrible! Same as the Retrol Mill Engine- again fitted the wrong way round! 😅😅
This red does not suit the engines at all. Are you being sponorsed by them now with the recent vidoes ... I think its a bit too bvious and will reduce the geniune aspect of your vidoes
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. :)
Thanks Thomas and Microcosm Jin! Great vid
Our pleasure!

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

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

Also, the red is deeper in real life. My camera pinked it a bit. I'll take what life offers and be happy.
....... well, and with that....... I'm out
Wha....? Dear Mr 212, surely you are not out of the tooobing game!?!? ....or, maybe you're out of this video in disgust?
