That's amazing. But it needs an upgraded exhaust. Just not loud enough for me.  :2vrolijk_21:

Pretty cool, I'm supprised there's no journals on the center area of the crank.

Very Cool, we need a video link to watch and hear this run..   Does it have that patoto-potato sound ?   :nixweiss:

I’ve never run mine, but when I bought this one (around ’92) I listened to the demo fired up and running. This machine needs more flywheel to potato with any authority; although the circuit breaker is adjustable, just like the original, along with the idle speed and mixture.

It runs on model airplane fuel mix; 60/40 I think. The generator is the fuel tank which has a built in, gear driven fuel pump.

A set of long straight pipes were offered after I purchased this one, and later on someone built a chassis for the thing…very cool stuff. There is a small thumbnail of it on the Past Projects page of the Replica Engine web site.

The first link is for the outfit that built the engine, the next is to a web site with a video of a running knuck engine.

Since you didn't provide a link in your post I thought you may have been speaking of the ones in this thread. :nixweiss:
