As promised here is yet another engine.
Earlier in Aug I had shown the Saito 180 GK (Reply 367). This time it's a Saito once again, 180 (yes once again) but converted to CDI ignition and running on petrol. CH ignitions kit was used to convert. Pictures show the usual around the engine with shots of the carb used, carb mount and the sensor bracket. Needs 1:20 full synthetic mix for optimum run and uses a 1/4-32 size spark plug

Pictures continued.
As can be seen uses a Rcxel CDI unit with 1/4-32 size plug boot and a Walbro copy carb

Guess it is a (horizontally opposed) twin, photograph showing the symmetry across the mounting plate..... (I could be wrong)

flyingboxcar

Good try there but it's not. Any one else wants to hazard a guess

Way over my head, as usual !  :banghead:
This thread nearly succeeded in making my a collector too. Stopped at a mere dozen  ;D

Look forward to a seeing an occasional display of small parts of your collection...

This is what happens when engineers go nuts! Here are 6, that's right, 6 Morton radial engines from my collection. Engines were manufactured in 1945/46 in USA. 15cc, petrol, 4 stroke. Disregard the 9-cylinder Technopower in the pic  ;D

Lovely!
Those were the engines to covet for and in many ways still are. Got any of those running?

Not yet, maybe in Spring. In the meantime, I did run up this Noonan 5cc diesel and a couple of others though...Taplin Twin (Aurora), a Mills 1.3 cc, a Redfin 0.3 cc, and a 5cc Sparey).
The Sparey and Noonan are home-built classic side port designs.

So it's REALLY cold here, and all this talk of engines got be riled up. So I dug up an old Mills (original English from the 1950s) and ran it up INSIDE to house. Got chased off to the unheated garage by the wife, and ran the engine in 15 second bursts. God knows when this engine was last run, but even in near zero temps, it came to life nicely.

Hmm, the original Mills should have a limiter pin on the head. I don't see that. Plus the original had mag crank case which has a tendency to show its age. The case in your example looks quite good

Yes, the limiter pin is gone. The tommy bar has been modified. Magnesium case had corrosion on it...cleaned with wire brush carefully. One of the lug corners is broken off but is not a problem. But it is an original Mills with a serial number on it.

Been some time eh?
So next one up will be this and oh yes the promised other two beauties as well  ;D
