Little stay out of trouble project I made. Technically a 2 stroke.

Let's see if this link works for it running
Awesome! That is so cool :whoop:
And, yes the link works
Thanks, while frustrating at times, it was a fun little project.
Very cool!!!
That's cool, Did you build that from scratch?

I downloaded some plans but yes, made from scratch except for the screws although I did make the brass hex nuts.
That's impressive; are you a machinist by trade?

Sorta, kinda, but not really. I have done some machining for employers but it was never my dedicated job. I do have a mill and lathe in my garage.
That is really gorgeous! Have you run it? It's almost too pretty to get dirty.
Those little diesels have always been hugely popular in Eastern Europe. Maybe because nitro was not easy to come by in the Soviet era? They run really strong but aren't as popular here. Don't know why. No glow plugs or batteries required. Just adjust the compression until they start. They last a lot longer than nitro engines too. I have one from East Germany Ca. 1950's. Still runs perfectly.

Good eye. The stand doubles as a static display and also for running. There it a piece recessed in the bottom that comes out from static and gets stood upright so it can get clamped in a vise to run. The dovetail piece conceals the hex wrench and 2 longer screws to change over. There is 2 spring loaded ball detents that keep it held in place.
