Retrol HM-01 THE BUILD Full step by step

[@SimonHollandfilms]

we solved the fiddly ball bearings and fitting the governer and slip ring....by removing the ball governers and fitting them after the flywheel was fitted..

Your video helped me. Put my engine together

[@rustyrelics]

Thanks for watching 😀

[@williamburgess4732]

Love it just waiting to start mine.

[@rustyrelics]

It's my new favorite toy 😁

This will be the most watched video on KZbin, for minature engine fan's! Well done Liam!

[@rustyrelics]

Thanks Gary 😊

[@Stirlingkit]

thanks again for your detailed review!!!!

[@rustyrelics]

You're welcome 😁

[@markcrosbie3699]

Can anyone tell me what type of oil to use to lubricate the engine parts. The instructions list 2T or 4T oil but I assume that is to mix with the fuel. Thanks!

[@markcrosbie3699]

Ok - watched the video. He uses engine oil - the same you use for your car. He also said you could use 3-in-1 motor oil.

[@rustyrelics]

This is what I have been using prescision oiler pen: amzn.to/3vB1h9n

[@flippop101]

Brilliant!

[@rustyrelics]

Thanks for watching 😀

[@masondenton6256]

What type of oil are you using during assembly?

[@rustyrelics]

This here 😊 amzn.to/3vB1h9n

[@Kevin_Dyke]

Hey, I just got mine a couple days ago and I've been noticing that oil drips down to the ignition points and causes there to be no spark. Do you have any good fixes for this?

[@rustyrelics]

Hi Kevin, I can't say I've suffered this problem but then I do give it a good wipe down and clean with brake cleaner (to remove the oil). Maybe a good clean between runs will suffice ?. Thanks for watching 😀

[@mrdovie47]

I wonder if the measuring rod will line up the bearing oiler holes?

[@rustyrelics]

Have since tried that and can confirm it doesn't. The holes in the bearing shells aren't big enough. Thanks for watching 😁

[@mrdovie47]

Got to eye ball it then.😀@@rustyrelics

[@kelvinsparks4651]

I've checked these things out and they are a horrendous price for such a little model. If you look around, you can buy a real hit and miss antique engine for the same money . Good instructional video though .

[@rustyrelics]

Yes they are relatively expensive compared to the real thing, BUT, models in general are expensive, These on the other hand, for anything else remotely comparable, are cheap as chips. An real actual hit and miss (not throttle governed) engine here in the UK starts at around £600 so still a good chunck cheaper. There is a slightly larger scale hit & miss model on UK Ebay right now and its £1700!!!. I guess it's all about what you want out of it, I've plenty of full size engines but I can play on the kitchen table with this on a miserable winters day, I don't think the other half would take too kindly to a 4hp Associated on the table🤣🤣. Thanks for watching 😀

[@kelvinsparks4651]

@rustyrelics now this is true , the good lady of the house will certainly give a slight frown if she finds a guvnor spring in her cornflakes one morning 🤣 . On the other hand if they were a bit cheaper I would buy one for my dad too tinker with , he's in his 80s and don't get out to play with his tractors much now and this would keep him out of the step mothers way for a bit lol .

[@rustyrelics]

@kelvinsparks4651 yeah, can't see that going down too well🤣🤣🤣. Have you checked out Stirlingkit website?. This is about the cheapest model I can personally recommend (I have one but haven't got around to making a video yet) www.stirlingkit.com/collections/hit-miss-engine-model/products/upgrade-hit-miss-gas-engine-m90-stirling-engine-model-combustion-engine-collection?ref=rustyrelics They aren't as "scale" looking and do have a bit of a "toyish" feel, but bang for buck they're fantastic. Regularly on offer for sub £300 😀

[@markcrosbie3699]

I don’t think my wife will let me have one in my basement.

[@kelvinsparks4651]

@@markcrosbie3699 sneek it in and don't tell her 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@greghanson5696]

Well done, great video. I just got mine yesterday (Jan 14, 2024) serial # 23509. I did notice the counter weights on the flywheels some how got out of sync at the end of your vid.

[@rustyrelics]

Thank you for the kind words :) . At 20.21 there is an explanation for the flywheels, my mistake🤦. But it was filmed after the main video hence they are misaligned for the rest of it. Thanks for watching 😁
