Wow now that is a nice engine, proper spark plug.
I once built a Kiel-craft boat when I was only 16, along time ago, I fitted a small diesel engine, with water cooling, but I could never start it except with an electric drill, then it had 2 speeds very very fast, or barely tickover, nothing in between.
I have still got all the bits, and the boat, but no RC equipment, however in my attempts to start the engine, I actually bent the crank shaft, so ruined it.
My family have grown up and I am expecting my first grandson soon, so it might be a project for retirement.
Wow... during my whole working life.... I never touched it, apart to move it from one loft to another... how sad is that.:nenau
There must be a moral to this story.
Don't do today.... that you can put off till tomorrow springs to mind:doh
Just been too busy I guess, home to run, family to bring up, cars to maintain and a boat, so no time for anything else.
