FrankenBriggs 6 Cylinder 1st Run!!!!

The first run of the 6 cylinder Briggs. There is lots of backfiring and some smoke, but it runs for a minute straight. It looks to me like I have some tuning issues with the carb feeding cylinders 4,5 & 6, since it is the one backfiring. i have to stiffen up the coupling guard for the distributor drive as it was vibrating around.

    just one thing! How do you keep the other engines cool when there is no cowling on them apart from the first engine, they are air cooled and need a flow of air over the cylinder fins to stop overheating , can't see it taking long before they run really hot ;( apart from the first one 😳

  • @stephenhayston4314

    your intake manifold has unequal lengths so cylinders farther from the carburettor are running leaner this is causing the hot exhausts on those cylinders

    Not practical but really cool. Not many people could claim such a feat. How did you handle the timing issue? Did you set each engine 120 degree out of phase with each other to get 3 power strokes per revolution? I think running 6 linked carbs would be better or, tune the length of the intake pipes for more accurate fuel distribution.

  • @ChargerMiles007

    Yes, I did phase the cranks 120 deg out of phase, and used a 6 cylinder firing order of 1,5,3,6,2,4. True this intake set up wasn't ideal, I just tried to keep it simple enough that I could build it in a reasonable time frame.

    Yes, the 8 ran much better than the 6, I think having the spark advance working correctly played a big part. The 6 had trouble revving much over 3000 rpm, but the 8 liked to hit 5000 or higher! Eventually harmonics in the engine broke the powder metallurgy crankshaft gear on #5 cylinder, so i packed it in. It is quite repairable, but fall was moving in, so I finished and ran the unlucky 5 cylinder a few times, then put it all away for the winter.

    Part of the reason the starter can handle the load is that only one cylinder at a time in on the compression stroke at a time., I do hope than you have set them up to use a standard 6 cyl firing order. That way if there were securely fastened to a stout frame, there should be very little vibration. For many years, Rolls Royce used only 6 cyl engines and they were famous for there smoothness. I studied engine design while in Mechanical Engineering and have kept up with modern variations.

    An inline 6 or 8 is inherently smoother than a "V" configuration due to the 120*(6cyl) or 90*(8cyl) firing of the cylinders. The "V" might be even fire at the distributor, but the crank throws are uneven for rotation of the crank and placement of the cylinders. It's inherently unbalanced, which is why it needs a huge harmonic balancer up front to keep it from self destructing. I've been driving inline 6's all my life (I'm 63) and my Dad's '37 Buick Sedan since I was 13. The inline 8 on that monster is smoother than any 6 cylinder I've ever driven. Put a glass of water on the head (flathead) and it barely ripples compared to a 6 @ 600rpm.

  • @beaugant327
    @beaugant3277 жыл бұрын

    It's your intake manifold! It needs to be completely redone .Your feeding 2 and five straight threw. The other engines can't pull enough fuel . The reason the back one is backfiring is because that is a lean back fire. Obviously it will run but your losing power because there all connected together and running un even . Hope this helps you. And pretty cool.

    You need to heat that intake manifold. The runners are too long and the fuel is falling out of suspension before it gets to the outside cylinders. That is why they are running so hot or not at all. They are running extremely lean. so you either you need to heat your manifold or put individual carbs on the machine. I really hope this helps you get a good runner out of this machine.

I could add a small dc fan onto each cylinder for cooling, instead i just run it for a minute or so at a time, otherwise I get complaints from the neighbors! :)

    > I think what you mean is that it's a 6 cylinder but not a v6 I think what you think he means is that it's a 6 cylinder but not a straight 6. It would be nteresting to see what this engine looks like in stroboscopic light, I dare say the vibration patterns of where the various masses are in the line is affecting the smoothness of it's running. It will perhpas be trying to retune itself?

    All the crankshafts are pinned together so it runs as 1 system. Detroit Diesel did the same with their 12v92 GM's that consist of 2 x 6v92 detroits with the crankshafts pinned together to run as 1 12v92.

    Problem with starting and low rpm idle is the intake manifold... there's no way that the carb tune for cylinder 2 is right for cylinders 1 and 3 ... by the time the mixture has traveled that distance and made the 2 90° turns in that size tubing it isn't atomizing well anymore at low flow... you can see it runs better at higher rpm as the airflow starts to overcome the imbalance in the manifold... use 3 carbs with manifolds set in a Y configuration with equal distance to intake, and your idle and starting worries will be solvable with proper carb settings. (this is awesome btw 😈 ... I work intake 6 cyl for boat engines... your minor problems totally look like intake config... try and get a faster starter motor speed to get running easier with your current setup)

    took a while but finally saw the distributor. looks like fuel supply is gravity fed; any plans for a fuel pump ? would it be better to feed the fuel from the center point of the carbs instead of chaining the carbs together feeding one first and then the other ? What is the firing order ? Is it a single points distributor or dual point or all electronic ? Did not see a distributor spark advance on the distributor; any plans or need for one? Any plans to try a 'shaped' intake manifold tube for the center intake feeds to match the other tubes ? Don't know what you are up to with doing this but it is very good Tinkering !

    This thing uses a car distributor and coil, from a 1970 Dodge slant six engine. i doubt that will be of much help to you. That is an interesting problem you have, if they stopped making the coil you need. Perhaps a 12 volt coil from a car could work.

    Your idea may work, with a different machining approach than I used, but the way I coupled the engines together wouldn't allow for a flywheel between engines, so only the first cylinder is cooled. I know this isn't practical without additional electric fans or something for cooling, hence the 1 minute run. I am not 100% satisfied with this run, so I will try again, something wasn't right with all that backfiring going on, so I have some investigation work to do :)
