ORIGINAL: 1QwkSport2.5r Here's one I've never seen before.. Very odd looking. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Outrageous-l...item35bfe08035 Very interesting crarburetor. I'll bet it's early 50s. A .10 for $125.00. A-bit to rich for my blood. I'm happy to have my littler .09. Cheers, Bill |

Forgive me if the answer is buried somewhere, but this is a biggggg thread to search.
I need to buy a new piston ring for a .53 4-cycle, because I spazzed out disassembling the engine :eek:. Is there a good domestic source, US or Canada? |

I suggest that you get an oversize ring and gap it to your specs. About .001" up to a 1.00 engine and .0015 above that. Those are Franks specs. He will also sell you one that is ready to install. His prices are VERY reasonable. Cheers, Bill |

RE: Club Enya
"captinjohn, I wonder how many of these engines (sold too a new owner) go right back on the shelf. A guy up by Ludington Michigan has rows and rows of Old Glow Engines just setting there. "
Heck took stock of my giant scale plans collection. I'm in trouble! 2 years to build a big one. I'm 41 years old 60 year life span. Probably more like 50 something with my bacon cheeseburger addiction! 19 years left to build That's 9 planes. I have over 100 sets of plans! |

RE: Club Enya
Enya's are truly fabulous engines. I have an Enya SS45 used briefly back in the 1970s. Then I left the hobby for twenty years. When I came back, I found this Enya in a bottom drawer in my garage (I had moved twice). It was cruddy, nasty, fully involved in filthy oil, and god knows what else. Well I cleaned the outside of it only, and discovered that it still turned over. So, building a new ARF I decided to try and use this Enya but figured I better put it on a test stand first.
I did this, primed it two or three times, and flipped it over. Incredibly it started right up and ran smooth like a clock. So I put it in my Hanger 9 Toledo Special and have been flying it ever since. Oh, I forget to mention, I used the same glow plug that was in it 20 years ago. Nowadays I give this baby some after run oil and take a lot better care of her. I have since acquired about 15 Enya's since then. They are tier one engines without question. |

I NEED a VT240 -just cuz. Cheers, Bill |

RE: Club Enya
You're right..Enyas are not being imported to the US any longer, but you can do two things. 1. Google enya metal products and you will find the site in Japan. YOu can by direct if the engines you want are in stock. 2. You have a GOOD chance of finding the engines you want on Ebay. New and used. If you get a used one take good looks at the pictures and be prepare to disassembly and clean up the engine. You can even find new spare parts for enya engines if you need.

RE: Club Enya
ORIGINAL: Ram Jet OK, inquring minds want to know. Is life better in Enyaland with a #3 plug? Bill Once I got the low end adjusted, it ran fine. I was running a 12x6 prop at 9600rpm (peak is 10k) but I'm going to try my MAS 12x8 and APC 13x7 the next time I'm out. Is it normal for these Enya 4-strokes to be rather "spitty" around the carb? My engine mount on my airboat was heavily sprayed with oil/fuel from the carb. edit: I forgot to mention, I put the Enya plug in with one washer and made my own remote glow driver connector so the plug is in as far as it can be. I can tell the base of the plug is not flush with the inside of the combustion chamber as I expected it to be, I think its 1 thread short. Nonetheless, Its got an Enya plug and I'll keep that one in there and save my other 4-cycle plugs for the SuperTigres. They really seem to like hot plugs. My Enya SS30 has a McCoy MC59 with two washers and it loves it; Broke it in on the same plug thats in it, 2 gallons now. It also really likes 5N/25C fuel too. |
RE: Club Enya
ORIGINAL: Ram Jet ORIGINAL: NM2K My Enya four-strokes seldom quit running, if ever, unless out of fuel, BUT that is after break-in. Break-in times vary considerably, depending on ambient temperature, fuel type, prop size, glow plug brand, etc. As Jim Garrahan used to tell me, keep it rich and you won't hurt a thing. Ed Cregger Cheers, Bill |

Only some kind of nut would use internal combustion engines when we have brushless electric motors today.
