nitro to gas conversion

[@jeffgrain1417]

I have not had a problem with over heating yet.. but I do carefully match the prop to the engine so not to load the engine to much.. as well I set the timing to the correct position ,, to much timing can give you more power, and more heat.. and I use a good quality oil..

[@stevebarr9604]

Yeah I agree, I have a few going right now too!

[@domm3840]

looking good, did you fab the carb adapters? I have a few I want to do and some carbs but no adapters yet.

[@jeffgrain1417]

yes I usually made adapters.. I have a small hobby size metal lathe

[@princefpv1]

So cool brother

[@wolfiber]

The Enya engine. what type or brand of carburator it has ? and where can I purchase it?, many thanks

[@jeffgrain1417]

It is an evolution 10cc carb.. and the company is no longer in business.. and parts are unavailable..

[@Hans45]

why dont you use the os g5 glow plugs on the 4 stroke engines? will it not work? Thanks

[@jeffgrain1417]

That may be an up coming project.. I just have not tried , yet :-))

[@Hans45]

@@jeffgrain1417 What fuel/oil mix do you use? The saito gas 4 strokes use 5% oil, but does it make any difference when the engines was made to run on glow fuel with a more rich mix? I am just worried of premature wear caused bu the leaner mix with less oil when run with gasoline

[@jeffgrain1417]

@@Hans45 no problems yet, but I use 30:1 mix , no reason you could not use a higher mix of oil.. like 20:1 you just have to remember that oil does not really add to the combustion and therefore degrades the amount of power the engine will put out..

[@ruiamorim1975200able]

can u please recomend a carburetor for a os 70 fs

[@jeffgrain1417]

for an os fs-70 I would say to use an evolution 10cc carb if they where still being made.. but that line of production has been dis-continued. A warbro carb for a 10cc engine would likely work but the only one I know of would be from the RCGF 10cc brand. just about any carb from a 10cc gas engine should work. but stay away from the NGH line of carbs as they are garbage.. I purchased two of them and have yet to get them to work properly..

[@Funtana123]

I LIKE WHAT YOU HAVE DONE. I HAVE THIS NITRO,WHERE CAN I SEND MY ENGINES TO HAVE THEM CONVERTED.

[@jeffgrain1417]

I am not sure where you could send the engine.. I only did mine to show others how and that it could be done.. If it is a saito engine.. there is someone who sells a conversion kit.. and www.morrisminimotors.com/ sells conversions..

[@redraider7614]

Can you do this on a RC car?

[@austinsmith9413]

With most RC cars you can't. The reason is that these CDI ignition units don't work past 15-20k rpm which will cut out nearly half of an RC car engines operating rpm range.

[@jeffgrain1417]

I am not a car guy.. but I see no reason why you couldn't do it..

[@rigididiot]

This is my most "out of the ordinary" gasoline conversion: it's a 50 year old Graupner/OS Wankel Mk I kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqDKe5aur6uFgNU The plane it is on is own design, loosely based on the Graupner Delta X1200. It actually flies, but I have to redesign the LG position.

[@carlosj.castillo254]

its awsome ! do you have any video?? on flight?

[@jeffgrain1417]

yup here are a couple of flight videos. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zn-od4p9r8igeMk kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXTEp6ykmLOpf5I Out of all the gas conversion videos I have seen by other people.. I believe I am the only one to actually show some in flight..

@@jeffgrain1417 No, you're not the only one... Take a look at my channel... Strictly spoken, this was my first SUCCESFUL conversion: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2fYfZyud71keMU First fixed wing was about a year and a half later: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXjToH2PmNOCmsk

[@gabrielhuang2343]

nitro to gas conversion-the engine very easy to over heat.

[@rigididiot]

Then you do something wrong...

[@philldownes8685]

well that shuts up all thosewho say it cant be done .
