As it's been pointed out to me by others, apparently those words are "so '80s". I guess.

Wow, George, those are a lot of Enya's. I'm stoked!

Talking about so Enya-like. My two Fuji .099S-II engines have an identical looking cylinder sleeve to the Enya .09-III (displacement is actually .099).

The first Fuji I saw was, I believe, a Fuji .15 in ~1957. For some reason they were never accepted in the USA as well as the OS or Enya. I do not have any Fuji engines.

I got a great deal on my Enya .15-III. I bought it used (cheap). I think the previous owner could not get it running. I looked in the exhaust and realized that the liner and head were on backwards (or is it bass-ackwards? ). Runs fine now.

Yes, those Enya sleeves aren't keyed (Fuji's too) and one needs to be careful in getting them properly oriented.

I thought I bought an Enya .15-III TV for a good price until it arrived, had zero compression. Then I bought another Enya .15-III TV marine version for a song, used the liner and piston in it. Then I had a good Enya. Wired the throttle wide open. It would do a wet-2, fast-2 really nice on my Ringmaster Junior, put out about the same power (speed) as my OS .15FP-S with 8x4 on an 8x6 prop. My Enya .09-III TV with wood 7x6 prop on a 40" R/C foamy would haul it around with authority. I'm sold on Enyas.

What 4-stroke engine manufacturer has a 13,000rpm redline for their 4C engines? Enya of course. Robust and well made engines last seemingly forever. I expect to put my engines in my will.

I do believe that the Fuji 09 and 15 were Enya copies of the day. Not in the machining quality of course.

Interesting thing about the Fuji .099S-II's I have is they are the same as the earlier iron piston / steel sleeve ones, except these I have were the last of the production. They are true ABC with chrome plated brass sleeve and aluminum piston. You don't see many cross scavenge baffle piston ABC's. Also interesting is the Enya .09-III (actual displacement .099) has a compression ratio of 7.5:1, whereas the Fuji has 5.5:1. Quality on these last Fuji's is quite good.

This probably can apply to any glow engine, but this engine happens to be an old Enya 60X. Runs great but the rear muffler bolt threads are stripped. Can anyone tell me what the recommended fix would be?

Contact Clarence Lee not sure he does that small size but he advertises repairing stripped Glow Plug holes.
He is quite reasonable contact info in back of MAN.

The basic method is to drill it out one size larger and thread it for a aluminum or brass plug that is threaded to match. Then using permanent thread locker you screw in the plug. Wait overnight for it to get glued in good. Then cut off the excess and machine it flat. Then carefully drill and tap the plug for the muffler screw thread size. For something that small one could pre-drill and tap the plug inside and out and screw it in good until it bottoms out and the threadlocker will lock it in place pretty good.

But with that said, what many people do is alternate between metric and SAE screws as the SAE screw is slightly larger than the metric and you can drill and tap it for the SAE screw being one size larger than the metric. Then simply use a SAE screw for that hole. One can alternate metric-SAE-metric-etc and vice versa too. That way you don't wind up having to go one big step larger for the next screw size.

I like the brass plug idea. I will give that a try. Thanks.

Hello all you Enya experts! I picked up a dirty (but in good shape) 45X at our swap meet last Saturday. Does anyone know where I can find the specs and/or any other pertinent info on this engine? I tried the Enya website, but no go.
Thanks in advance,
Jim

Hi Jim, click onto this (http://sceptreflight.net/Model%20Eng...045X%20TV.html) and if you need anything more, I have a NIB 45X and could scan the instruction sheet if you want. Regards, BOB

This one?

Here's the instruction sheet that came with my Enya .35-V TV, but instructions are in general and cover the .45X as well.

George,
Perfect! Thanks so much. I have cleaned her up some and will put her on my .46-size Kaos.
Jim

Update 1/21/14 -

I had to change the motor mount and nose gear setup, but I finally had a chance to fly the Kaos with the old Enya ,45X today. Absolutely superb! Very powerful, idles well and looks like it belongs in the Kaos.

Thanks to you folks again for the brochures and help.

Enya 60XL rear exhuast
Can it be made into an airplane engine?

GallopingGhostler

Seems to be a nice engine and there are favorable reports on the 60XL:

Seems to have made a nice RC plane engine, powerful, long lasting if cared for.

Yes here is my before and after photos. Can be done with rear exhaust also. Working on one right now. Just be known that helicopter carbs tend to run a little rich in the middle if using a lot of fuel pressure.

Thanks for the pointer

zeroback

I'll post some pictures, as the one I have looks like yours??? although it is a Model 7202

Here's what I got

I thought the XL designated the engine as built for heli from what I read on other forums. But I guess if it has the same head as pictured in the above conversion I suppose it is an aircraft engine. It had a vibration fuel pump with it. Do they really work? It looks like there is a crank driven fuel pump in the above, is that part still available? My intuition is that in order to have reliable fuel PSI a real pump would be needed. In the marine propulsion world some engines run up to 5 fuel pumps to maintain PSI and we are not turning the boat upside down. Most engines have at least two now days due to the dastardly effects of gasoline being made to destroy engines.

The XL rear exhaust was used in both areo and heli. The pump seen in the picture I posted earlier is a gear driven pump that delivers around .5 to 6 lbs of pressure (depending on rpm) One thing nice about the pump compared to other is it doesn't start pumping until the engine is running hence it will not flood your engine like other pump designs. It is still available from what I understand. I ordered mine last year. Expensive though.
