On the "miss" strokes.. does the engine actually draw in fuel/air to cool the cylinder down...even if the spark is not igniting the mixture?
@MatthewHenson.3 ай бұрын
Hello, on the miss stroke the exhaust valve is held open so air is only bought in through the exhaust. No fuel/ air is drawn in through the intake.

@@MatthewHenson. That explains that... otherwise the strokes that are unfired would still be using fuel.... not to produce any power...but just to cool the cylinder.. Since the exhaust valve is held open all the crap and heat in the exhaust gets drawn back into the cylinder.... not optimum... I suppose that when good carburettors were invented the need for the "miss" stroke went away.... better constant metering of the fuel for every intake stroke......

@MatthewHenson.3 ай бұрын
@@AskWasKirub it's a petrol paraffin engine. To start it you fill the carb with petrol, then once it is warm you can change the fuel mixture to paraffin (which was cheaper than petrol in the 1920s) I had some paraffin left over and tried to run it on that which is why it was so smokey. The hopper around the cylinder is full of water to help cool the engine and stop overheating hence the steam coming out the top.

It takes a long time to create that much clutter. First move the engine to someplace with enough room around it to easily get to the pieces. Let the oil soak for a day or a week. Never use a pipe wrench on a machined surface,.
