Sad to see so little interest in IC engines. I take it that most ICers are no longer active on the forum. Anyway I will continue to post till I run out of engines
And since there was no clear choice voiced, I will post the Laser next

Stand by for a NIB Laser 80 four stroke coming up next

If and when you run out of engines, you'll find at least one or two guys sending you some...

That is nice of you Iyer saab, but instead of sending them here to me, why don't you showcase them and even better run them and fly them.

Now coming on to the Laser 80, here are the promised pictures
1 The usual bland white box with Laser information
2.The box opened up
3.The top view of the engine
4.Left view of the engine

In the last picture one may notice that the engine lug has three alphabets engraved, these are the initials of the original buyer who must have bought the engine from Laser. I Bought this engine NIB but pre-loved  ;D
The same lug also indicates the date of mfg as D 09  or December 2009.
Pictures continued
5.  Right view of the engine  
6. Muffler and Carb
7. And the 80 with my second 150 Laser for comparison

Captain sir, don't remind me, else I'll be in tears.
Russian twin ball bearing rear induction team race motor...
ED Racer with thick crankshaft housing...
Wenmac 049 with triangular mounting holes...
A PeeWee 02...
Cox's and Mills, AMs and Frogs (incl a 500)

Interred in my past.
Along with a 1955 Fiat Milicento, a 1956 Royal Enfield Ensign, a 1975 Bullet, 1984 Chetak, 1985 Maruti van (serial no 40).
Rotting in the rain in Lucknow, where I haven't been back in 20 years...
Not even thinking about the long lost parallelogram suspension, hand shift 1952 James...

What i still have is last few years buys, and some salvage from Saikat!
Not enough to justify a thread...

Perhaps a single post hijack on this thread...

You did manage to revive memories. And I am in tears, fond nostalgic ones. Thanks.

I had that Frog 500 glow (minus the original backplate tank) exchanged it with another (Indian) guy in US for a PAW 19 and some other stuff

I just had an idea, I can get the frog sticker made in Vinyl in colour, would any one be interested ? And how many pieces?

Since the thread has finally crossed 100,000 views since inception, how about yet another engine?
A sneak peak below

If one would have seen the previous picture it would be apparent that the engine was supplied through Just Engines. Also the engine nomenclature is quite apparent in the picture.
So here is another picture, a bare bland one of the box that the engine comes in. This should clearly give out the make of the engine
and the second picture is box again with engine serial number. Yes the engine has a serial number and the box outer also indicates the matching serial number.

And to top it all, Just Engines autograph and date the box inside, what greater proof of purchase may be required?
And that autograph is from Andrew at JEN

Still wondering about the engine in that big brown box?
Ran the engine on bench this Saturday. 18x8 xoar with rpm limited to 3500 max for the full tank. Full tank running was achieved in three roughly 10 minute runs
Here is a video of the engine running
The engine actually sounds totally different from how it sounds in the video. I also expect the note to change once I put in the Just Engines supplied muffler instead of the current short stubby pipe

Hi,

I am into IC engines (rc airplanes).  I got two of them.... a 2-stroke 2.5cc glow and a 4-stroke 5 cc glow.
I am facing problem with tuning the 2-stroke (Toki ) which only has a hi-speed needle adjust. I have fed about 3/4 of a liter of glow fuel (5%) during break-in, but still the engine runs erratic and stalls at the slightest provocation. Not feeling confident about mounting it on the aircraft.

On the other hand, the 4-stroke ran almost trouble-free (mangling my fingers in the first run) !

Can I request guidance from experts ?

Ok-ay first thing first
It would help, if you learned where to post what. You already have a separate thread running for the query you posted and people did try to help you there but looks like you are not interested.
And did you forget to tell us what did you do during the last 6 months since you were helped with advice to your original query?  

Second
Since you asked for help, my advice - Get help from some one experienced or if you want to strike it alone, learn from www, there is enough wisdom out there if you care to learn, but be aware, not everything out there is gem, there is enough dung as well. Learn to reason, question, debate and that would help in separating gems from dung.


Third
I will have to remove your irrelevant posts if they are posted again on this thread

Happy landings

FBC,
Your post was not helpful, tone was aggressive and out of context.
Reading it was a sheer waste of time !

All said, I'll be more careful now on.

Thanks

K K Iyer

@aeroresurrect,
Come on man, dont get angry with FBC.

FBC has run this thread for over 5 years, posting 58 engines, getting over 1 lac views (more than any other thread)

You have your own Toki thread.
Would you not be annoyed if i started posting my Cox 049 stories on your thread?

But all is well that ends well.
Regards to you and FBC both.

I take the liberty to waste some more of your precious time
Yes you could be right, but this is my thread and that is the way it will remain.
You already have your own thread. Post away to glory therein.  No one will be aggressive or out of context there and if some one is you have same rights as I have over here.
And since you did not get it at the first instance, let me say this again. Your post on my thread is out of context and irrelevant.

And thank you for your promise to take care from now on :thumbsup:

@flyingboxcar,
As i said to the other guy,
Dont get angry.

You are an old hand, after all.
And he did say he'd be more careful...

flyingboxcar

Nah not angry, just making things amply clear

And with the NGH 38 cc fourstroke it would be 59 different engines :)
