Yo, Jeffie, whassup?

Sorry you had to sell your Enya .60 III. I always wanted one, but when it came time to buy, I ended up buying Enya's 1970's thru 80's schneurle ported sixties. Maybe you can latch on to one of those later on. They are strong and they are in a league of their own both power and quality wise. I found a NIB one with the chrome liner and the geared pump setup a while back. It is side exhaust. Now I'm looking for one in rear exhaust. These engines are not cheap, but especially the rear exhaust version. I'll probably sell off all of my modern 10cc high revving engines. A person only has so much time and I've definitely over bought when it comes to engines.

I just sold my NIB Saito R5 radial engine with accessories. I've decided to focus more on classic pattern (.40 - .61 two-stroke engines) and smaller electric models. I'll use the electric models for 3D and front yard flying.

Keep an eye open for me in the RCU classifieds and the Bay (sonny123music). There is much more good stuff to go.

Hello; I unexpectedly fell into tow as new Enya 80's. I'll add them to my others, now I have a 15 III, a 25 ssTN, a 25D, a n open rocker 40, 3 46 4c's, and 2 80 FS'. I thought I'd put one of the 80's in a 4*60. I think I might have a picture around here.

Thanks Ed . If things don't turn around soon I will be in my parents basement , in the corner, fermenting ,like a mold. This disability thing isn't going well.

I've seldom heard of anyone whose disability claim was granted on the first try, Jeffie. You have to hang in there and be persistent with your claim. It's okay to get frustrated, just don't give up.

Yeah, they act as if the money was coming out of their pockets. They forget the ridiculous premium payments that were taken from our paychecks all of our working lives. Social Security is an insurance policy - NOT a handout. Don't let the ignorant folks beat you down. No, I'm not on disability. I finally made it to 62. They couldn't say no.

Anyway, I hope you do well in your engine buying and selling ventures. I don't know how anyone could make a profit on a regular basis in this game unless they bought out estates of modelers. Even then you would have to be on your toes with little wiggle room when expenses are factored in.

I'm on the lookout for a few more chrome versions of the .61 side and rear exhaust engine, or another 80-4C at a good price. Keep me in mind.

I was very luck to fall into 2 estate lots that I was able to make some money off of but most of that is gone and I don't know where the next will come from . It was a lot of fun though, and I learned so much! I had everything run through my hands, Fox, Atwood, Cox Space Bug, O&R, McCoy,Glow Bee, Tatone, K&B, Veco,Taipan, just to name a few.

Here's a quick question for any Enya buff who has the answer. Is there a quick way to visually discern the high compression heads from the low compression ones supplied with the older two stroke engines, IE: .29 !Vs and .35 IVs?? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers,
Mike G.

When they are mounted to the engine? I don't think so, mine look the same, unless removed.

goonybird1

Hi rcdude7,

I'm sorry for being unclear. I meant to ask with the heads removed from the engine, is there an easy way to tell them apart?

Thanks,
Mike

I owned my last Enya .29 that came new with both cylinder heads in 66-67. There is a way to identify them, but it evades me at the moment. I'll keep thinking about it and sooner or later it should come floating to the surface.

Being a young'un with only four-stroke hot rod (real automobile) experience before that day (ran all my two-stroke glow engines dead stock), I immediately grabbed the high compression head, mounted it to the engine and then bought a gallon of Fox Missile Mist fuel and proceded to fly the dickens out of it. Oh, that poor engine!!!

To add insult to injury, I didn't have a 9x6 or a 10x4-5 prop, so I used the same 10x6 prop that I ran on my .35 engines. This was in the desert of Luke AFB, not far from Phoenix, AZ. I don't think I could have treated that engine any worse than I did, had I originally wished to do everything to destroy it, other than throw sand in the intake or deliberately smash it into the ground. And yet, the engine improved in its running as time passed and it ran great without a single problem, or needing of a new part. Later, when I read more about how to break-in engines properly and how to optimize them, I realized just how great an Enya engine truly was to tolerate what I had done to it and still turn out great.

I'm sure the answer will emerge. Or, as you sort of suggested, you could just swap heads and check the compression that way.

Another Enyaphile here. 09-III, 2 x 19-IV model 4004, 19-V model 4005, 2 x 29-IV model 5224 (one old, one NIB), 35-III model 5224, 45BB model 6001 and 45S-M model 6001. All control line.

The 19-V has just gone in a model and will be flying soon. I've just finished breaking in an apparently near new 19-IV and am getting remarkable performance, it is outperforming my PAW 19 diesels on all props I've tried.

The only one I'm unsure of is the little 09-III, which struggles to get much over 12,000 RPM on a MA 7x4. In comparison, my OS 10 FSR-S does 14,200 on the same prop.

Wish list: either the 15 or 25 diesel, the SS30S, and a 60-IIIB.

cheers,
Colin

Hi, I'm new to Club Enya. I have a .19 VI 4006 and just paid for a .40 SSBB on Ebay. I may buy another .19 and a .09 for a Cox Hyper Viper for which I'm building a proper balsa wing (I hate Styrofoam). I have no use for the .19 yet but the .40 is going into a C/L Brodak ARF Oriental. Break-in on these engines is going to be tedious but in the long run benificial. Does anyone have any idea what should be paid for a decent Enya 90? I'll probably never do anything with it but fire it up on a test bench. I have wanted to own a four cycle for some time. I really enjoy the Enya info I've read on this site.

Ram Jet

There are two Enya 90s on eBay right now in the $60.00 range.

A new un run Enya .90 4C will sell for $160-190 on epay. A used one will be less, depending on how good the description is I suppose. It is very difficult to tell what you are getting on epay. Some will describe an engine to be "like new" because they ran it on a bench 5yrs ago when it was new and of course it ran great then, however it was stored with fuel in it and now is locked up solid and the internals are rusted badly. It needs $100 worth of parts, but looks new on the outside.

I suppose you could ask the seller if he will accept a return if the engine is in poor condition, at least you are only out the shipping costs then.

I suggest you try to get a unrun engine if you can, especially if it is a Enya fourstroke. I have had a few over the years.

IIRC, no one wants them because they are built in the 1.20 size crankcase. Heavy, heavy, heavy and very large.

In models where the size and weight isn't a factor, they perform beautifully.

I did that once (asked for a refund that was offered in the listing), sent the engine back after receiving an okay and never received the money nor the engine. Unfortunately, they were in California and I was in NJ. Not hardly worth the plane fare to go knocking on their door in person.

Ed, you couldn't have chosen a better fuel to help your engine survive your lack of sperience, when I got my first fourstrokes, an Enya .46MKII and a first issue High Compression Saito 1.50 I ran them on Fox 15% fuel with 20% castor. They both thrived on the stuff even though I was learning to fly and feeling my way along using them.

Yesterday I ran my Enya .90 and broke the rules by running it on WildCat 15% 2/4 stroke all synthetic fuel. It easily turned an APC 14x6 at 10,100 rpm. Even idled at 1,750 with no trouble at all. I would have put it on my Alph 60 but it stuck too far out the front so my Saito is on there.

Dave,

I'm shocked you would buy full synthetic fuel! Would you fly with that fuel too?

The 120-c is a bolt in replacement for the 90 and weighs almost the same. What is the benefit of the 90 over the 120? I have both but haven't run either yet. I don't know if the 120 shakes considerably more.

PK, I bought it just to try it, 1st impression is very good, but long term, I may dedicate an engine to it just to find out.

The 90 and 120 are built around the same head and case castings. The 120 has a slightly increased bore and stroke over the 90. Valves, cams, intake and exhaust are the same except for a sleeve insert in the 90's venturi. In my 90, I removed my sleve for slightly more power and installed a tank pressure tap in the muffler to help fuel draw. The engine worked great in a fourstar 60.

I just sold a 1.20GP and it was considerably larger than the .91 I still have, you're right the early .91s were built in the 1.20 case.

rcdude7

My Feedback: (264)

Your'e engine is the 120R geared pump, not even close to the standard 1.20 that shares the .90 crankcase.

I have a 120R non pumped engine, it is a hefty beast of an engine.

I would like to find a Enya 240 V engine. Please tip PM me if anyone comes upon one. Thanks capt,n

Too bad you didn't ask sooner. I sold two, one NIB and the other was NIB until I decided to test it out. Very powerful and economical to run. However, if I had room for a two stroke muffler I'd run a Moki 2.10 instead and save a pound or more with greater power.
