It was with the help of so many kind enthusiasts, I'm more of a steam engine bloke and these IC engines can be temperamental.

Its great to be able to get help and advice from like minded people.

Appreciate the reply, thank you!

Enjomor 6cc Hit & Miss Engine - Last Mods I Think?

Somehow I doubt it though, these engines are made to muck around with.

VE-01 Crossbeam Vacuum Engine added a drive pulley and running some accessories, a Fleischmann Sausage Man and a DIY Baker Fan.

Enjomor 6cc Hit & Miss Engine Modifications and running and hit and missing. Many many thanks for all the help & suggestions I've received. Just a REALLY great looking Hit & Miss Engine, any other hints if you think it could run better, much appreciated as always.

Thanks guys, appreciated.

It was my fault working on the engine before ever starting it I took the governor apart and it is has a cam gear on the back and without thinking I just put it back any old way and forgot about it. So the XXX amount of times trying to get it started was never going to happen.
At least now that it is running I can start making adjustments to s-l-o-w it down.

Thanks @JasonB Jason really appreciate all the posts trying to help me mate.

I've had my wife in the shed now multiple times to test having the spark plug resting next to the spark plug hole with the 3 x 1.5v AA batteries and there's no, zilch, nada, nothing. As soon as I switch over to the 4 x 1.5vAA battery pack instantly there's a really good spark across the gap which has me utterly baffled as I've watched so many YT vids of other owners running their same engines with the 3 battery pack as supplied with the engine (like what I received) but when I emailed the company they said the engine needs a minimum of 6v to fire.

Next hurdle is the timing.

I'm starting to doubt myself now, so to double check this is TDC isn't it !

Am I incorrect that I adjust the firing (timing?) by adjusting this brass piece that slides on that rail that pushes down on the switch to make contact?

Once again....appreciate the posts.

Have Spark now !!!
Thanks again one and all, now have a really good spark using 4 x 1.5v AA batteries giving me 6v in total.
I can't get the engine to fire and start, any suggestions would be appreciated to get it firing.
I'm not 100% how to set the timing on these engines.
It has spark now, has fuel so what should I be looking for?

Thanks one and all for the replies. Sorry for the tardy replies, just in case you don't know I'm in Australia so the time zones play havoc.

Thanks Trevor, very much appreciated

Hit & Miss Engine Help Needed - Part 2

Really appreciate all the help and advice that I have had from - Thank You. I've put this second help video up as I'm still stuck getting a spark and the wiring has me really baffled. I've tried to point out in the video what is confusing me, so I hope I have explained it well enough to be able to obtain some help and advice.....as always super appreciated guys.

You can buy a stronger White Vinegar from hardware stores now that they sell for home cleaning. I use that and its works very well on removing scale.

Jason......appreciate that link mate...thank you.

Appreciate all the replies, thank you all.

For someone like me with limited electronics knowledge is there a way to test using a multimeter if the ignition module is faulty?

Can I put a probe on the spark lead and get a reading?

Thanks for the link to the vid Jason, appreciated mate.

You maybe onto something else that I need to check out. I took out one of the head bolts and slipped the earth in the bolt and put it back, But I have only been putting the probe on the head of the bolt and not the wire loop.

I will do that Jason thanks, I just had a look and they aren't touching but they are really really close.

Appreciate the comment(s) its frustrating when something just can't get even a spark of life to it.

G'day all, I have taken more than a few days to build the base for this 6cc Hit & Miss Engine. Really happy how it turned out. I can't get a spark from the plug. Has anyone got any thoughts on what to check out to see why I'm not getting a spark? I've pointed out in the video a few things where I'm stuck.

Very nice build of a No4.
