Most English diesels of the period had a 2BA compression screw, certainly the Frog 2.49 did.

What size PAW are you thinking of and would the Norvel be diesel?

Norvel 074 as a glow is an excellent engine but the 6x4 three blader might be a bit small for it.
In any case it is likely to...

Diesels are great fun but they need a very different technique to glows.

A few quick rules:
They need a much faster flick - just takes a bit of practice, you'll get it.
Do NOT use an electric...

Two holes is easy to understand, leaves uninterrupted wall for the gudgeon pin to run down.

Perhaps the staggering of the holes is intentional resulting in a longer inlet port open timing despite...

I would have thought it was normal for a single ball race engine to have some fore-aft shaft movement.
In TBR engines the lack of movement is due to the locking the front race onto the step in the...

No, it's not a Cameron.
It's an Ohlsson Custom 60, 10 cc spark ignition ( not diesel) from the 1940's.
The gold casting on the front indicates it's the deluxe custom version.

Mine likes a 9x5, but they are very flexible and will tolerate anything from an 8x6 to a 10x4.

Mk II's were produced from 1948 to the early/mid 60's.
Very early Mk II's had a different position...

Hi Neil,
I think you will find there has been a bit of box shuffling.
The 55 is correct.
But the other two are not what the box describes.
Both are non standard with the extra colour added to...

If you are talking about your 20/15, I find mine also need to be quite wet to start.

20/15's seem to be quite different handling to most of my other radial ported diesels.

I think it would make a fine Ebenezer, but even at 30" it's quite lively on the Merlin, would need to be run a lot slower or use a smaller engine, perhaps a Dart or MP Jet Classic.
