It's all apart as we speak. Thanks

Does anyone know the thread size of the pressure nipple on the Enya R120? Or the tap size? I want to put an Enya pressure nipple on the cam box to put after run oil. Thanks.

You could use any size you want just grab one out of some old unused muffler, match up the threads and go for it.

I need to tap it and apparently not all nipples have the same threads. I may get with Enya to find out.

Either do what Hobbsy said and find a nipple from an old muffler and match up a tap to it or buy a new fitting and a tap to match and do it that way. OR you can do what I do and use the crankcase vent fitting and fill the crankcase with oil and rotate the engine around so the oil is circulated throughout the crankcase and cam box. I haven't fired my 60-4C up yet this year, but when I do I'll just let it run at mid throttle for awhile so the storage oil will bleed off on its own.

FWIW:
 I have an Enya 60 for sale on ebay right now.  Ends in 7 hours.  Currently only $15.00

Hi folks,

I was able to get hold of a NIB Enya .29 IV T.V. special, the ball bearing version. It has both high and low compression cylinder heads in its box.

There was a silencer with the engine, but it does not really fit to it - silencer flange is to wide. It has a clamp which is supposed to be screwed by two bolts to the silencer, but the clamp also does not properly fit around the cross-flow cylinder of that little Enya. Both silencer and crankcase have threaded holes, this is little bit weird.
In an old Robbe catalog (german Enya distributor) I found notes that this silencer was used for the .29, .35 and the .45 engine.

Tiffitech posted some photos of a .29 with such a silencer. Did you just widen the clamp by gently bending it open, or do I have a wrong muffler/clamp?

You stink! I paid $85.00 for my NIB 60. :-)

I assume you're referring to post #2003... Wouldn't want the poster in post #2004 to think he stinks...

As to post #2004 about the .29 IV, I'd just widen the metal band clamp if the muffler will fit and the band clamp will fit around well enough to work. If it won't work that way, I'd use some 1/4" thick aluminum stock and make a bridge adapter to fit the bolt-through muffler to a bolt-on engine. Done it on a couple of my engines in the past to use bigger mufflers on smaller engines.

I've changed nothing on my .29, only cleaned it up a little.
I have to search for it to take a closer look..

All is clear now - I was too quickly thinking "it doesn´t work", but it does!

Just a little bit uncommon for what one is used to nowadays. I think it is obvious that Enya made a specially designed clamp to fit this muffler to the .29 TV engine, although the muffler actually is too large for the engine.

Looks like it will work fine! The larger the volume, the better! I got huge power increases from my Enya SS30bb using a .46 sized muffler. To the tune of 2,500rpm+ gain.

Treat that old Enya nice with some castor oil fuel - 20% content will make it last. Iron piston engines will die quickly with synthetic oil.

Yes, the clamp is different from the after-market types. I believe it is designed so that it cannot distort the crankcase when it is tightened. The gap in your photos is quite normal.

I find that muffler to be rather restrictive on the .45. I don't think it's too big for the .29 at all.

Have an almost new 120R, had 2 tanks run through it, then put away oiled properly, doesn't even have any castor stains anywhere. What does anyone think it's worth? Parts still available on the Enya website. Well used normal 120's sell for around $200 on the auction site.

I have a brand new 1.55. I was presented with an offer I couldn't refuse. It was purchased new in 1990. I have no need for it but I did want it. I installed a Frank Bowman ring gapped to 0.0015". A fellow in England made me a custom engine test stand for it. Want it? Read the Burtchville, Michigan obituaries and when I croak stand in line. If I get my hands on a 240 I'm going to build a mini-bike and install it to run to the mailbox on. :-)

Cheers,

Bill

That would be a pretty sick mini bike

Ram Jet

Would you believe a radio controlled mini bike that I walk behind? Naw, I put it in a 1:4 scale Curtiss Jenny and ask you to fly it for me. :-)

Man would I love to fly it too.

I don't know if its ever been asked, but the thought crossed my mind about cam timing. Since the Enyas have a cam for the intake and a cam for the exhaust, could one or both be advanced or retarded a tooth for more torque? I know the cams in these have been said to be pretty "hot", but I don't know if anyone knows how much advance if any was ground into the cam(s).

Just a random thought...

Ram Jet

I've had exactly the same thought. They used to make an accessory for hot rod Detroit V-8 engines. It was called a "Vari-Cam". It worked on the same principle. You try it first. :-) One concern I would have is valve face to piston crown contact.

Cheers,
