Enjomor 6cc Hit and Miss Engine Mounted on a Cart. Fine Tuning & Adjustments.

Most Hit and Miss engines that were used around the farm were mounted on a cart with steel or cast iron wheels for moving the engine from one task to another. Let's mount this little 6cc Enjomor to a cart so it looks more like it should. We will fire it back up for the first time since the last video and continue to tweak and adjust the governor speed, ignition, and valve timing in an attempt to also have it run more like its full sized counterparts. Thank you all for watching, sharing and subscribing. You guy's are GREAT!

Very nice cart. Engine looks and runs great. Well done. 👍

[@steam212]

Thank you M C I still need to get it to hit and miss properly (it still wants to double hit) but it'll get there. Thank you for watching and commenting 👍

[@MC-MC1MC]

Maybe ignition a little bit after top dead center and lowering the governor spring could help? What do you think?

[@steam212]

@@MC-MC1MC I might try to shorten the governor spring a bit more again to see if it will run slower and then retard the timing from there. If it runs too slowly it doesn't have enough momentum to carry it through the compression stroke.

[@MC-MC1MC]

@@steam212 I understand. This engine has a lot of compression. I did it with my two years old m90 and it runs with 28-30 hits per minute, only one hit. Also has very good compression. The spring is very „wobbly“. Have a nice day. Looking forward for your next video. Have a nice day.

That one is coming up real nice.

[@steam212]

Thank you Boat Beard, it will be better when I get it to properly hit and miss. But we'll get it.

@@steam212 Scaling in miniature is always very hard, Trying to get model boats and planes performing in full size ways can be quite frustrating. Good fun though... :)

Very nice Cart Matt. looks awesome.

[@steam212]

Thanks Chris. I wanted to make it a bit shorter but I don't think there would have been enough room to fit the battery box.

[@benjaminkroes9785]

I think watching This engine get progressively better is my favorite videos! They are coming out with upgraded version called Retrol HM-01 possibly around September. Upgrades: Slightly larger displacement Hi/low speed lever for better slow run. Much better governor design More vintage look muffler Nicer oilers Possibly better over all fit and finish Better pulley to drive implements. I am hopeful you will do a video of tuning the new model?? I may be interested in purchasing it after you work your magic....if you find you have to many engines pile up on you?😮 Thanks for making these videos on tuning!!

[@steam212]

I have been thinking about the new model coming out. I'll most likely order one (I really don't need another engine) but I'm curious to see if they made any of the improvements on the new one that I did to this one

[@MrZx9rdoug]

Nice work.

[@steam212]

Thank you Doug. I'm glad that you enjoyed this one.

[@jdking]

the spark is made when the points break contact just like in cars the spark is created by the lobe not the flat when the points are touching

[@Yellow_iron_and_spanners]

very nice

[@steam212]

Thanks Beaver

[@anythingoldmechanical]

You still need a coil off that spring, to stop it hitting so many times.

[@henrybangsberg2187]

Did you make a modification to the pawl that holds the exhaust valve rod? The brass pawl in the steel rod is very high wear (like the steel rod on the brass cam) and the pawl geometry wasn't very good on mine either. I just superglued a steel washer to the end of the pawl so I had a bit of steel to make better contact and fix the geometry and it hooks on the pushrod much better. I wish I had access to a milling machine so I could mill the crank out. The Enjomor is so much smoother with a properly shaped crank counterweight.

[@steam212]

I did not have to modify the governor latch on this one other than true it up a bit with a file. I did add a pair of bearings to the pushrod where it meets the brass cam to reduce the wear factor significantly. I agree that milling the crank and skeletonized the connecting rod to balance the crank made a massive improvement.

Hi Matt. Great progress! I am still struggling with Stirlingkit to get a replacement CDI. They are balking, saying that it is a "consumable". Hmmm. They want me to purchase a different CDI which uses 6 to 12v. Are you still planning a buzz coil video?

[@Kevin_Dyke]

You probably could use a car coil you can get them on Amazon for like 15 bucks then just connect a 6 or 12v battery to the coil with some wires and attach it to the engine. Just like the full scale versions.

[@joesenkalowski7912]

@@Kevin_Dyke Thanks Kevin. I was thinking the same but I would like a more compact unit.

Hey Matt. Which CDI are you using? It looks like a red one.

I used the same one as I showed in the video. I painted it so it wouldn't stick out like a sore thumb while being "hidden" between the cart frame rails.

How many volts are you using? Just 3 x 1.5v AA batteries?

Just 3 1.5 volt batteries. So 4.5 volts total.

[@BlueHeelersSteamEngines-Jim]

@@steam212 Thanks Matt, I was pretty sure that's all your using. I was told that "the yellow box needs 7.4v voltage, you can buy a 3.7v battery for the battery holder" but that didn't make sense to me.

What’s the wheels from ?

[@sandorbak836]

What mixture of petrol and oil is required? thank you very much

[@steam212]

I use 40:1 pre mixed ethanol free 94 octane VP race fuel. I've never had any issues with, lack of lubrication, detonation, or fuel going sour from sitting.

[@sandorbak836]

@@steam212 Thank you very much! I'm also in the process of buying

[@BlueHeelersSteamEngines-Jim]

What fuel and fuel mix do you use Matt?

[@steam212]

I use VP 93 octane 40:1 ethanol free. It really seems to do a great job unless you leave fuel in the tank, the fuel evaporates but the oil stays in the fuel line. So I run them until they are empty now and I've never had an issue since. I have used Coleman fuel mixed 40:1 with Marvel mystery oil before, it does a GREAT job but it gives me a 2 day headache if I run it without the doors open.

[@BlueHeelersSteamEngines-Jim]

@@steam212 So that's just plain premium gasoline (petrol down here)? I have tried to get Marvel mystery oil before and its unobtainable here, as is Coleman fuel. So I've been using Zippo lighter fuel just coloured enough with some quality 2 stroke outboard motor oil.......but the Zippo lighter fuel really starts to add up in $$$.....I'll have to give premium fuel a try.

What’s the wheels from ?

[@steam212]

I came across these at a flea market or a garage sale. I think they were originally off of a toy fire engine but I can't say for sure. If you're looking for a set of wheels to build a cart for your engine, I would suggest looking on the PM research website they offer many different types of flywheel castings in various sizes and materials. If I didn't already have the ones I used that's where I would have went. I hope this helps you. Thanks again for watching and commenting 👍
