Time to try out a PAW engine.

A new bargin engine to try out. A 2.49cc PAW diesel which has stood for a long time and it's very stiff. Time to try it out.

Thats a buety mark love it ,sounds wicked🤙🤙🤙

[@Darren.n.RCvids]

Really nice to see these old engines running, I've got a PAW 2.49 and a .80, You'll find the engine size stamped on the rear of the engine screw casing. I run mine up sometimes in my workbench too,lol

[@MarkCroucherRC4fun]

It's fun isn't it

[@Darren.n.RCvids]

@@MarkCroucherRC4fun Sure is, never had them in a plane,lol

[@MarkRobinson555]

Runs lovely, will be great in a model, look forward to seeing it! 😜 Thanks for the shout out, its appreciated 😀

[@DadsRCHangar]

Very nice mark, always nice to see an old engine given a new lease of life. Maybe a strip done and clean would do it well. 👍🏻

[@MarkCroucherRC4fun]

Yes the carb. had a strip down then away she went going to try the correct propeller for it and see how it goes.

Mark nice find. Jeff in LA USA

Looking for the next project to put it in.

[@nickwf70]

The PAW website has instructions and a demo KZbin video but that runs well.

Hai raggiunto l'obbiettivo con facilità , complimenti e grazie per il video

[@jacksnavely559]

Looks like a2.5 cc - has a ball rase it seems, ❤

[@deanlouden2343]

Should have a stamp on the backplate ? Look carefully they are not easy to see :)

[@MarkRobinson555]

Often there is nothing on the back plate, if it is an early engine, stamping the back plate was a later development, and an extremely useful addition 😀

[@deanlouden2343]

I have about 25 of them and all have stamps.. mine must all be later ones, they all look the same :) I just hold them up to whatever they are going in and if they look right they generally just need a prop up or down :)

[@MarkCroucherRC4fun]

Just gave the backplate a clean with some alcohol... Yep 2.49 stamp.

Thanks 👍

@@MarkCroucherRC4fun Progress Aero Works actually. PS. I know of one diesel enthusiast who disapproves of using electric starters on diesel engines. I can't see the problem myself unless either the contra-piston is screwed down so low that it touches the piston or there's so much fuel in the emgine that you get a compression lock.

[@RichardTapp1]

​@@daviddavis7710 Very easy to get a hydraulic lock after priming the engine. I am one who would never use a starter on a diesel.

[@MarkCroucherRC4fun]

​@@daviddavis7710 I understand the logic with smaller engines than this (DC motors for example) however this is 2:5 cc if it cant stand the use of an electric starter then there is something wrong with it. 😊
