Thanks in advance for any advice/ID you folks can muster.

My good friend Buddy passed away a few years ago and I ended up with a few of his engines. I only fly electrics and don't even have the slightest clue how to start one of these. I'm thinking of selling it since I don't know anything about them, but I don't know how to describe it. Here are some pictures below.

Thanks again.

It looks like a converted weed eater or chain saw motor IMHO. There are several home made parts on it. It's also pretty old. That linkage that advances the timing is not used with electronic ignition now days.
Sorry I can't be more help.

It's a Mahle cylinder with a 40mm bore. Probably an early version or copy cat of a Brison. It has mechanical advance with a CH ignition. I doubt if it has any value except as a collector item. Maybe a 2.4 cubic inch, Dan.

you know, if you put a new CH ignition on it I bet it would make a good engine

Thanks Jim,
I'll search for a gas engines 101 thread to help me get this thing started. Any idea what size prop I'd need?

18X10. I used that on the real Brison 2.4, Dan

Thanks Dan.

Can someone point me to a Gas Engine 101 website? I'm really starting from scratch here. I took a look at the CH Ignitions website and I'm lost. I've been flying electrics for 20 years (Astro Flight Cobalt 05 days) , and I've had a few glow planes, but the ignition stuff scares me.

I don't believe this is a 2.4 as the exhaust bolts are not on a diagonal but are straight across. Also the fin arrangement is quite different than the Sachs 2.4. I've lost my list of cylinder numbers though so don't know what it is. I still own (3) Brison 2.4 for comparison.

Good points Truck. I just noticed that. Dan.

Dan, I misplaced my list of all the common Sachs type cylinders from 2.4 thru 5.8. Do you or does anybody have a list they could send me?

I only know about the Brisons. Not the others that Mahle made.

The front of cylinder head has a "V", and below that "W2", and below that on the base "40ZN21".

The back has a D**

The top, near the spark plug has this configuration:
0 - 5
5 B 8

I hope that helps!

I have the same engine , it is a Walker 2.4 The offset crank case bolt is a dead give away of the Walker then later A&M engines.

I finally got around to posting it for auction on eBay. If any of y'all want it, the current bid is $0.99 plus shipping. Since I can't post the link, search for "Walker 2.4 cu. in. R/C Model Airplane Gas Engine w/CH CD Ignition w/Muffler" on eBay.
