If only a turbo was added to this

When I was 14 a younger friend asked me to show him how to rebuild a small engine. So we got 2 Briggs and Stratton 3hp engines and pulled them apart. He did one, and I did the other. We did not bore them, just new piston rings, gaskets, spark plugs and cleaned everything up real nice. When done they both ran. Then I had 2 little 3hp engines that I didn't know what to do with. I had a Go-Kart, but it had a 5hp Briggs on it, so 1 puny 3hp did not interest me. Then I thought about combining them. I pulled the cranks back out and took them to school and in machine shop I threaded the outside of the pilot shaft for the recoil on one and inside the pto end on the other so the two crankshafts screwed together. I made up a common manifold and braised them together with something like Fonson or Phonson. ( I can't remember what it was, but it was not braising rod) When I got all done it worked and I really enjoyed the sound of a 2 cylinder engine on my Go-Kart. But, I got a lot of criticism for not timing the pistons. I had simply screwed the two engines together and wherever they were when it got tight was it. Some said the timing should have been so close that one coil could fire both for the most hp. Some said the two fought each other and it made far less than one by itself. Well, I had ridden my Go-Kart with a 5hp Briggs on it plenty, so I knew how much power that had, and I could dispel their criticism because my 2 engine Go-Kart had a lot more power than that single 5hp did. What do they say about proof is in the pudding? I had a lot of pudding time with my 5hp and this double engine had a lot more pudding. Also Too, I wonder: Did the engine in this video sound like an old John Deere B engine? I had a 2 cylinder engine on a two wheel walk behind tractor called a Standard Twin. BOTH PISTONS WENT UP AND DOWN AT THE SAME TIME TOGETHER. They fired alternately. It sounded perfect. I have had engineers tell me it couldn't have or it would vibrate itself apart. Well, somebody forgot to tell The Standard Engine Company of Minneapolis Minn. or just never bothered. Because they made a lot of them from the1930's to the 1950's and they didn't vibrate at all when running. John Deere I have read thought it would be too hard to balance their 2 cylinder engine if they had both pistons going up and down together at the same time firing alternately, so they did like the guy in this video. With the John Deere one piston fired at TDC while the other piston was at BDC so there were two power pulses 90°apart, then a long lag of 630°? ( something like that, do the math I may not have it right) until the first one hit again. What we hear at idle speed is the 1st one, it has to bring the engine speed back up from the long lag and pumping losses, and that makes the 2nd one inferior in sound, which is where they got the name "Johnny Popper.' Until the engine worked hard enough to have both power pulses working hard, to me, the John Deere B always sounded like it was misfiring. Hey, that was a long time ago and I'm gettin a headache from trying to remember it. ben/ michigan

Odlicna stvar, eeee sad na to staviti turbinu :D

Svaka cast ja bi mu stavio Hladnjak jer ima vise od 1 cilindra i sigurno ce se pregrijati

Hope you've staggered the ignition strokes. One engine needs to be exhausting while one is fueling or your gonna have one engine taxing the other

Now we're talking, perfect job man, keep going ❤

I would try two carburetters instead and you need to adjust them 100% precisely. I don't know where to get it, but many many years ago I tried to adjust doubble caburators using a vaccum measuring system, on Audi 80, on the fly on a highway, we meassured the vaccum at 120km/h because they didnt work even at that speed.. In short terms we drove 120Kmh, notiched the vaccum differiencies and stopped at nexe haigway exit, adjusted, drove again.. VERY interresting how a very small difference, could give a huge result in engine performance. We adjusted the nozzels with very small round metal files. If the engines are not running at 100% precise torch, one engine will have to use power to turn the other. It's difficult to explain, but if you think about it it actually logical, IF you use a single caburetter, the distance to each cylinder must be 100% the same, polish the tubes on the inside as mush as you can, and the same goes for the exhaust system ( maybe two exhaust systems are better?) if not same lenght, one cylinder will sort of block the other cylinders outlet a little. Finally you could try to adjust the angle between them, eventually 45 degrees, and adjust the crank so it "kooks" like a Harley? just for fun :)... or buy a 400cc engine instead hahaha

That's sounds lovely! Good job 👍

Surprisingly great sound it makes 👍

Svaka cast! Mislim da je mogao jedan prekidac da gasi oba motora, samo ih povezi zajedno.

Begitu banyak yang dipertaruhkan saat dua mesin dijadikan satu, tapi anda berhasil melakukannya, luar biasa👍👍🔥🔥

You should convert this to a draw through HCCI style engine, and use water injection just before the intake port where each case pulses it's own or each other's fuel pulse pumps, you may want to make sure the pumps will handle methanol or ethanol. Now you could use a butterfly as a throttle, and set it up to inject a small ethanol (vodka, 40% ethanol) boost each cycle. Homogenous charge carburetor runs better for a twin cyl than your carb, and the ethanol aka vodka injection system helps keep the engine clean, keep from overheating, and allows it to run very lean with less risk of issues, which is the main issue with HCCI carburetion. Could boost your low end torque and horse power higher, certainly will boost fuel economy.

How is it even possible.... Amazing.

The whole building-process looks really very accurate. Congrats !😊 great job, nice vid.

Spark plugs with multiple electrodes doesn't make more spark, it forces the ignition coil to work harder than it should because it's trying to drive two spark 'plugs' from one coil output. You end up with either multiple weak sparks per plug, or the spark becomes unstable and ignores one electrode completely at random. Just use single plugs for a strong consistent spark. You may also want to think about timing the crankshafts so they work together, therefore each engine fires 360-degrees apart. It'll smooth out the fueling through the carburettor. That'll result in more consistent firing, less vibration from a more balanced power delivery, smoother overall torque...all of which is ultimately more reliable and lasting fun.

It was brilliant.. bravo 👏

The engines runs very well together!!! What is the next level.. Create an V8 engine out of single engines??? 👍

brilliant, well done!!

The ignition switches can be integrated as single one by changing the wirings. Great job!

now put a turbo on it

Your dexterity is amazing.

absolutely awesome job.. now i have a project to do myself,,instant subscibed also . appreciate the posting. and ill go through your channel and check out other projects also . thanx again

Really really cool, looking forward to seeing what such an engine will be used for 🤩👍

Your level of craftsmanship is incredible you make me want to get out in the shed

love the sound

Finally a way to max out my Harbor Freight wood chipper! Seriously, nice work.

This is amazing! Well done

Perfect job!👋

Having only one carburator you should use 360° as then the airflow is symetric to the two engines and therefore both engine-halves would produce the same ammount of power. At the moment you loose some power of the non-perfect airflow in the intake behind the carburator.

Great job for better than most people could ever think about doing

YOU ARE TIMING THEM WRONG. THEY SHOULD HAVE ONE A AT TDC FIRING D OTHER AT TDC END OF EXHAUST STROKE.

Very clever and very entertaining.

You are such a clever young man.

Nicely done doctor, can't wait to see what it's going into. You're an evil genius 😂.

i would be interested in seing this with the GX200 electric start conversion fitted to see if it would be able to turn over the two engines, nice work...

BRILLIANT I LOVE IT.

I salute you! You, sir, are an absolute GENIUS!!! Now, you must follow the inventors rule...if one is good...two are better...if two are better...FOUR WILL KICK ASS!!! Get to it sir!

Excellent job bro 👍👍👍👍

That is sweet. Some of the best fab on youtube.

You would get a smoother and more even firing order if you had both pistons at the top at the same time. So ones firing while the other is on the overlap.

@vinniedurrant

I'm not sure about that tbh, the pistons need a counter balance otherwise that'll jump around like a brick in a washing machine.

@alientiger21

That would be the exact opposite of smooth. The engines should already be mostly balanced so any imperfection in the balancing would be essentially doubled.

you should put 8 in a vee configeration

Cranks are designed to carry power, among other things...would there be an issues with too much power snapping the crank if the motors are too heavily loaded?

Nice work.Have the same engine at home.Very interesting to me.

please build a crosskart with this engine with gearbox

Very cool, your very talented 🔧

Amazing. With you skill you could make something even more incredible

Jeder Zylinder benötigt einen eigenen Vergaser, und auch einen eigenen Krümmer in gleicher Länge........😉

Just going to put it out there but mounting 2 10hp motors together isn't going to push 20hp it'll probably be pushing 12-14hp at max, but Torq would be more of an advantage.

mass production machine, Fascinating! video!

Very genius, senior. I like your brilliant idea

Un travail extraordinaire Vous êtes génie doctor Excellente modification Me5👍👍👍

People stop comments of criticism of his work. He busted a theory every one of us had as a child growing up. I used to think if I could connect four of these I could make a car etc.. He just made a video to show it.

I watched this entire video just hoping and waiting for the point where the turbo was going to be installed but it never

Amazing..

Accurate number 99 top...thumbs up 100% cool my boss...extraordinary great

that is super cool! looking forward to seeing what it will power! perhaps an airplane?

أحسنت يا مبدع استمر ❤

Good idea 👍👍

Just get a "Y" spark cable and get rid of the other coil, the piston that is at bottom dead centre gets just a waste spark, but you minimize the hassle with two sets of spark contacts etc...great job, the decision against the governor and for a bigger carb will pay out... 😉👍👍

Nice idea 👏👏👏👏👏

2 switch kill 😮. Better convert to 1 switch on off power

È fantastico vedere i tuoi video grande Doc👍💪💪💪

Bravo majstore veoma mocno zvuci tvoj duo motor!😂 Imam jedno pitanje kakvo izkustvo imas sa Einhell tp-cd 18/50 li-i baterijska srafilica, uzeo sam sebi jednu za kucne potrebe, pozdrav!

you should totally build a double wide mini bike

The idea is good, but how long do you think the front crankshaft will withstand twice the load under load?

Cool projekt, well done. But can you pls turbo charge this engine

Maybe you should have had both pistons at the top like my Yamaha 650 twin 🤗 makes it sound like a Triumph 😮, that is one exhaust and one compression stroke.

Very true work I give you five stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Excellent❤

Svaka cast👌😎

Muy buen trabajo👍🏼 Has provado de poner los dos pistones arriba y alternar los tiempos? Felicidades👏🏻👏🏻

Un trabaho magnifico. Tengo un par de motores iguales. Creo que hare lo mismo. Me has inspirado amigo.

Try the crankshaft 270 degrees apart

After all of that put 2 turbo on ??

180° 👏 --- > 360° 👍 👍

Is The Best My Brother Good Job Suces for you

My old idea was having an engine powering each rear wheel on a gocart trial, was so the engines difference in rpm when cornering will be like a differential, my plan was to use the 2x motorcycle engines I have, each going to its own axil sprocket, funny as another part was what will it sound like being that one is a 2stroke and the other is a 4stroke 😅??

Good job

My idea has always been to make an engine mounting plate for however many engines you want (2, 4, 6). Instead of physically connecting the engines, they would each be connected by chain and a centrifugal clutch to a shaft mounted to the bottom side of the engine plate with pillow block bearings. The bottom shaft would act as a crankshaft in a sense, but you could run however many engines you wanted based on the centrifugal clutches.

your damm good ! nice job

Are you May be Alien??? 😂😂😂 Amazing work, great. 💪👍

Nice idea build the gear box and I'm watching you

Where do you learn your machining skills? I would kill have equipment like that, but it's way out of my price range. And Im young/broke. Repect to the machinist out there.

wow,is the best

Hey, man.Where did you get that tap set

We also manufactured general-purpose engines for 2-wheeled bikes and 4-wheeled vehicles, such as GX200cc ENGINES.

I bought one of those carburetors for my M120X 2stroke engine on my bicycle, but the choke doesn't stay on, was your one working properly when you got it?

good job

could've determined the position of the crankshaft by the location of the keyway.

@dansw0rkshop

And there are probably timing marks on the flywheel. I would not have alternated the pistons like that. It makes the timing uneven. Better to have one engine at TDC at exhaust, and the other on TDC at compression. The engines are already balanced individually.

@hanksyflamework

6 күн бұрын

@@dansw0rkshop chances are theres no timing marks since the crackshaft is keyway slotted. also the valve train timing is determined by the dot marking on the camshaft gear and corresponging gear on the crankshaft that is also fixed via a keyway. the only way to adjust the ignition timing on these engines to my knowledge is by using a staggered keyway on the flywheel to advance or retard it some.

Can you add a turbo to this engine? Will it work?

Bravo, ,,,,,perfekt,,,,,

You should use that in a go kart

where will you put it

Brutalno extra posao svaka čast e sad to treba stavit na neki karting

haha it sounds so nice

genius👍

Very good thinks way made mopars. 👍 motor pars. Neat. Stronger longer camshaft.

Now for the turbo...

should mounting rubber too for vibration

You did a great job, but you would need a tig for these tubes
