This tiny 16cc Diesel engine had some gremlins, I fixed it up and ran it.

      I read a story about an author who had finally discovered the secret of getting editors to accept his works:
      He deliberately left some mistakes in the manuscript for the editors to find and correct. Having done so, there was the feeling that "they" had contributed something too and we're likely to accept it.
      Maybe that's the case here?
      Maybe they left some deliberate eff-ups so the modeler would feel they'd actually participated instead of just putting three screws and two drops of loctite into it?

      What problems ?.... for me as a retired mechanic / machinist it's part of the charm and fun to fiddle around with the engine and get it to work.
      Im disappointed that it arrived completely build together.
      I would expect to receive a box of parts and a manual.
      And then build the engine for myself.

    I assume the above model engine burns on kerosene, which is much easier to atomize under a much lower injection pressure.

  • @DatBlueHusky

    they def need to rework the design of this engine, every reviewer ive seen had problems like you did and not running well at all. I think whats happening is they take a gasoline engine and converting it to diesel. A diesel engine needs long strokes and very high compression and most important is the injector and timing.

    If I spent that much money (I would not in this case) on a model engine, I would expect it to work perfectly and run like a swiss watch straight out of the box, too many times you see this type of engine or Stirling engines on youtube and they just don't work correctly. Send it back and get your money back, or wait...... did they send it to you as a freebie???? either way it's garbage.

    I am a qualified Diesel Mechanic and Fuel Injection Equipment Technician. The fuel injection pump and injector are both very precision made. The size of injection equipment for the model engine is even smaller and must be more precisely mated in order to stop excess seeping of fuel via the plunger and barrel, and with a smooth sliding fit. I don't think the workmanship of a model engineer at home can accomplish.

    Once again, I agree with the commenters on the quality (or rather, lack thereof) on this engine. Neat concept, poor delivery. I commend you for trying to fix it, but it should have been quality checked before being sent out.
    The engines you've previously restored put this one to shame.

    it is strange that at such a price, they spared a piece of copper pipe for the exhaust, putting some kind of ersatz ...
    and even for such a price they could not make the casting better, judging by the video, the sand for casting was taken with too large a fraction ...
    and the rest of the metal processing was performed at a very low level, the tolerances are huge and the surface roughness is huge, I think that even on a real engine, the workmanship was an order of magnitude better, but here, on the model, it had to be done at least twice as well...

    Great vid AJ! I had an extended play with mine, which starts very reliably. I will put some more footage up.... Only "gremlin" was overtight big end of conrod. I am trying 1/2 diesel 1/2 kerosene today, a cleaner run. The builder is working on the type 3 improved injector so stay tuned :) he wants to perfect the injector and they'll be a free or at-cost upgrade. Anyway, a very difficult prototype to model in small scale and "world's first" serial production. Did you have fun?

      The purpose of the engine is not to be perfect, but to model one of the original machines by Rudolf Diesel... which did not work perfectly. Diesels have tiny, close tolerance parts and building these to "perfection" is near impossible for one man, to create for serial production...at a price where a heavy model engine like this is still affordable...but, despite being "impossible", the builder is giving it a go. It's not your cup of tea but many like AJ and I will enjoy fiddling with this unusual engine, so it has it's market I guess :)
