You weren't kicked out of English class, its perfect. 😊

[@SeasideGarage]

Haha ! Thank you! 😃

[@shaunhardie6077]

Awesome little machine. That fuel pipe looks a bit close to the rear tyre, you don't want a high speed blow out Seppo, 😉🤣.

[@SeasideGarage]

Dont worry.. its not very flammable! :P

[@shaunhardie6077]

Phew, what a relief 👍.

Certainly seems to be quite the task finding the right fuel (and fuel ratios) to get this little engine putting out some power, all I can think of is that the earlier engines that Rudolf Diesel created ran on peanut oil, so maybe that would work, or would drive you nuts... :P

[@ramiretz]

ever tried rc-fuel mixture? methanol with nitromethan and some 2stroke oil ?

[@SeasideGarage]

not yet!

[@Efiertieh]

That's just a lovely moped! It's definitely very classy :D Where did you find this one?

[@sonovoxx]

Fantastic.

[@adamknopp6631]

Great! Now get a Trojan mini motor. Arguably the best clip on bicycle motor. 😊

[@SeasideGarage]

yes please!

An ‘e-bike’ before the e-bike 😅

[@SeasideGarage]

Funny you should say that... I meet my father on this today! and he was on a E-bike!... I could not keep up... :P

[@steveosshenanigans]

Seppo when you say too cold 🥶……..what temperatures are they ?

[@SeasideGarage]

maybe -2 today.. so not that bad...

This little engine reminds me of the diesel engines that I used to power model aeroplanes many decades ago. Have you tried that fuel? It was ether and castor oil, if my memory serves me well. Readily available.The main problem here is that 18ccs are justnot enough. 25 might do the trick. Fascinating stuff, nonetheless. 🫣
