Coming up next will be pictures of fairly ordinary engines from the far east. But post that stand by to oggle at some male jwellery  :giggle:

As mentioned nothing exotic this time, just an ordinary hardworking DLE, 35 RA
The engine was bought pre-owned but not run except for checking once the Bowman ring was installed and carb mods done by the original owner.

Do not think that the pictures require any explanations. Have another DLE 30 that is serving to pull around a Gold Wing Pitts. The 35 RA is intended to go in to a Great Planes Citabria

The last picture is of an aftermarket throttle arm, that will replace the stock arm. Makes life easy while setting up the throttle and highly recommended

Yet another boring engine, this time. The DLE 55 side exhaust.

Time for yet another Marine.
The K&B 3.5cc Outboard Marine this time. The second dedicated marine in my collection, the other being the Taplin Twin Marine version/
Can any one spell out the most distinguishing feature of this engine?
Enjoy the pictures

The K&B is a beauty!

So many distinguishing features - PTO from the rear, Water pick-up near the prop, with over-sized water cooled head, cable driven prop, no rudder as whole engine swings (outboard).......

No it has something else that is different from most model glow engines

Does it turn clockwise?

Does the carb have 2 fuel inlets, or a bypass? Is the carb water-cooled? I'm stumped  ;D

Not engine person and know nothing of them but my guess from pics would be that the engine sits an right angle pointing upwards?And output is from behind the engine?Unusual for most glow engines i guess?

The marine engine is amazing though :salute:
Build planes like feathers rather than tanks, both handle bullets equally well.

Hah! Carb opening facing backwards to prevent water ingress  ;D ;D

Looks like hardly any interest in wet fuel engines these days. Will wait till Monday evening before giving out the answer.

The usable output seems to be from the rear instead of front, and the front side remains unused? Or the carb seems to have 2 exhaust.

No throttle visible as Arvind Khare said, and 2 fuel tubes to carb - a bypass for speed control?

flyingboxcar

The throttle arm is just visible in the pic where the engine is seen from the right side. The fuel inlet is one and the other one that looks like a fuel inlet is for the needle that gets clinched with a small nut that is missing currently. All K&B carbs have this needle arrangement, but that is not the most distinguishing feature of the engine :)

Sanjayrai you got it in one of the responses, Did you google around or guessed it?
The engine does turn clockwise. The instructions actually tell you to reverse the polarity on your starter.
I need to make a tag and prominently attach the tag to this engine so that I do not end up trying to fire it up like other glow engines

Next up is a superb running engine The Enya XF4 AL Chrome with Twin needles. The most desirable version of this engine is the GP one that comes with a pump but I have the one without the pump.

Captain, in your opinion which 3 brands of model engine would you rate right on top; considering all factors eg Specific Power, Reliability, ease of operation etc.? So mant good brands come to mind - Novarossi, Enya, OS etc

flyingboxcar

Sanjay
I think no person could answer that question correctly, it's always horses for the courses, each brand that you mention have their merits and excel in the application they are designed for.
One may have a favorite engine or a brand but saying which one comes on top in general out of three would be real foot in mouth attempt.
