I want a backup starter like that, in case... that is a reasonable idea, because my daily driver (prelude) has a 2ah lithium battery instead of the lead acid anchor.

Dual spark plugs per cylinder on intake and exhaust sides. I and we did that too our Harleys sure cleaned up our burning processing gave a little more power i think!!

Cezar, the imperator of the Roman Empire, most powerfull ruler of the world at that time, wore also sandals. The Super-NATO of ancient times, the Roman Army, wore all Sandals. Any questions? Thank you. 😉

[@comethiburs2326]

it's a bunch of pieces from a bygone era, threwn together and made to collaborate within the last decade, so it's not old, not as it is thought it'd be. it's the only one of it's kind. Even in the air, a place where it's not that uncommon to see 60+ years old machines in working order, gipsy engines are rare now. i'd love to ride one of these. one with a silly big old engine and not much else.

[@gearhead3990]

I love that this car would probably sell at auction for well north of six figures and this dude's out here in a racing suit with a ratchet change and spark plugs with his bare hands. I'm jealous.

[@hu3raum]

Thanks for your comment ! 😊

[@ronitsingh85]

the gipsy engine is a work of art in itself! such an easy starting engine, loads of torque, just chugging away.

[@bustjanzupan1074]

Is it having heads from bronze or from aluminium ?

With those gigantic air cooled cylinders i bet that thing has a super cool unique sound.

[@earlcards8893]

Love it , impressive way of starting , what are the side draft carbs

[@colubrinedeucecreative]

I immediately wondered if it was going to be throwing oil while it ran. That is a consistent theme with those early bi planes. Check out Kermit weeks if you want to see some Flight of that era. Maybe this is later enough, I know it had revisions. It was putting out a lot of smoke for sure. I like it but then again knowing that and then seeing what it was racing against made me think he probably should have built a body for it. Around the 1900s this was a thing but that engine is 1925 ish. Still looks cool and is wild! Got me clicking for sure!

[@jourwalis-8875]

How many spark plugs were there?

[@rmustata]

Very nice but what fuel you use, you change exhaust valve rings?

[@PRR1954]

"what fuel you use, you change exhaust valve rings?" Compression ratio of these engines was about 5:1; and they were designed before leaded gasoline. This is not a highly-stressed engine from the 1960s.

[@gearhead3990]

​@@PRR1954are you sure about that? regardless of compression ratio, it would need at least a lead additive, to avoid the need for hardened valve seats. It has nothing to do with load, It's due to the lubricity of gasoline, every time the valves close, They rub a little bit on the seat. These early engines were constant loss oiling, and they were ingesting oil all the time. Oil would get squirted on the valve train everyday before startup and it would drip down the valve guides. Some of that oil, even if vaporized by heat would have helped reduce, not eliminate valve seat wear. Also realize that gasoline refining was not nearly as exacted as as it is today, there were a lot of impurities that increased the lubricity of the fuel. Running modern fuel and oil blends in this engine would be catastrophic both the valve train and the bottom end.

It is very interesting that the engine is mounted that way up. In a Dehavilland aircraft, it would have mounted with the crank at the top. I wonder if this made any difference to how the engine performed.
