- Anyone out there want to talk internal combustion gas engines? I am
- considering buying plans or ME reprints for the following models (I'm
- not rich enough for castings.):
-
- Seal, Sealion, Seagul, Duplex Mariner.
-
- I also have the plans for Harold Depenbusch's (sp?) hit and miss engine.
- I've never built an IC engine and have a very small lathe, is the hit and
- miss a good choice for a first?
-
- I think a 4 cycle with exposed, valves looks the best, but maybe a two cycle
- would be better to start with.
-
- I think the 15-25 cc range would be best for my lathe, is 15 so small that
- I will need tweesers to make the small parts?
-
- Any comments wold be appreciated.
