RE: Contra-piston Calamity

Yes, I was baffled because of the lack of vacuum in a 2-stroke combustion chamber as well, but I just know what happened. And whilst your idea of detonation above the contrapiston shows a high...

RE: Thin walled fuel tube in UK?

Due to a change in personal circumstances I haven't dealt with either Inwoods or Blackburn since last Autumn, but I would be astonished to find they're no longer trading. A silly question I expect,...

RE: Thin walled fuel tube in UK?

RE: Contra-piston Calamity

Thanks David and Dieseldan for your replies. I think you're both right - the contra piston could not have been a correct fit in the head, and to have a non O-ringed contra piston in the head is in...

RE: Thin walled fuel tube in UK?

It's not neoprene, but both Blackburn Models and Inwoods do a diesel-friendly black rubber thin-wall tube of about 2mm id. One or the other also does Tygon tubing of about 2mm. Might also be worth...

Contra-piston Calamity

Have just had the contra-piston of my MVVS 61 fall into the cylinder whilst at tick-over!! The damage is limited to a well-mashed contra-piston but I'm baffled as to why that should happen,...

RE: I know it's naughty but....

Thanks for all these most interesting and surprising replies. Seems like instead of coming up with a new but risky idea, all I've done is re-invent the wheel!

RE: What's the best way to start deisel engines

Nor do I! Fuel is pricey, can be difficult to get and is practically impossible to homebrew economically. The engines aren't nearly as clean as glows, and are more difficult to use. The crud that...

Diesel conversion for Irvine 61

Anybody out there in Diesel Land tried an Irvine 61 conversion - and if you did, what did you think of it? Would also welcome general opinions as to whether it's strong enough for dieselizing.
