Fine little engine. I had three, first and rc version that I used in my RCM Basic trainer in 1971and ran it for many years, finally selling it as I recall when in need of cash for a move. Others were acquired as worn out, no doubt from running near the ground and inhaling dirt. They loved a kind break-in and just kept plugging along. Nice that you have them.

We used 90% methanol and 10% castor oil. It run still so good .

Most glow fuel we mixed in the 50's and 60's was 80% Methanol, 18% Castor oil and 2% Nitromethane. The same as commercial fuel, but we only made small amounts as we needed it so it was ''fresher''.

How did you disassemble it?

[@bradwalton7599]

Very easy only 8 screws to remove 4 at the top to remove the head and 4 at the front.
