Just a followup on my ST .90 that would not fire. I E mailed Keith at BME . He diagnosed the problem as a bad pick up sensor. Immediately sent me a new one. Now a nice spark and engine runs really well. I gotta say I am really impressed with this kind of custumer service. Guys you gotta try this engine, its awesome!!

cheery.hill, can you post a video of it running on here? that would be great.

Nick

Would love to hear it run as well...

Shane

Sorry Guys,

I am in the dark ages when it comes to videos on the internet. Guess you will have to get one yourself. It starts and runs like a regular gasoline power plant, except smoother then above 1/2 throttle it winds up like a hot glow engine. I didn,t tac it but top end is several thousand RPM,s above my other gas engines. After I fly it in the Tiger Moth I will report on the outcome

I can post a vidio of one of mine running if you would like.

Yes, please do..

Shane

Are they fairly similar to other gassers as far as sound goes?


Shane

depends on the muffler used, the stock muffler is fairly quiet

Eagerly waiting the vid Ken...

Nick

i will get it posted tomorrow

Cool!!! Thanks Ken

Nick

Wow Ken, that is awesome performance. That can't be too far off glow performance.

the first run of the 2300 is also posted.

What prop are you using?

That is awesome, think I found the new motor for my VQ models P-40. Is that muffler you used one of your own makings? I visited your site, nice shop by the way.

Shane

Thanks Ken, now I am definitely sold on this engine

Nick

I am makeing a welded nuffler ( in the process ) it will be very light and small but can still use the stock muffler.

this 90 isn't one of BME but is close. It actualy had several gallons of glow running before converting it to gas so it is wel broken in.

videos are also on my website I will be posting more there

Ken,

Are you using the stock crankpins or are you using hardened pins in your conversions?

a hardened pin

Ken,

I understand you don't use a ZAMA carb either but a Walbro.

walbro but a zamz will work fine I just happen to have a box of walbro carbs

How would you do an IN cowl install with the carb up so close to the spinner backplate? I have the BME version and it looks like a bit of a problem to me?

Which Walbro are you using?
