These little engines were brilliant, lasted for many years. just leaked a bit of oil, but great little motors. about 8,000 rpm and about 2bhp at full throttle. good old English engineering.
My gosh, I never realized how massive the Gannet is! It's such a beautiful engine and sounds magnificent with the open pipe. Thanks for posting another great video of a rare engine. :)

Hi, there is no water pump: in a boat, the water is "pushed" by the propeller in a scoop and , via a line system, arrives in the cylinder jacket to cool it. Here, the engine is just cooled by the water contained in a bucket ,
cool. thanks for sharing. i think it needs a proper muffler/silencer. it'd probably help the start and run adding some more compression and back pressure. look at some japanese 50cc mufflers. vintage ones are the easiest to replicate...like the honda express (nc50)...
@@Bysin769 a brass gear pump and a blower are far different. In theory you could potentially makw a very large brass gear pump a blower. But the tolerances between the gear and the walls need to be extremely tight for any positive pressure to be created in the intake around .007" max. Id say half that .0035" because we are dealing with tiny gear edges not a roots style or corckscrew type rotor assembly. Then rotor timing or gear timing, you need to get the gears as tight together as possible without contact at speeds lf around 20k rpms.... Good luck
Seems like all the auto part stores sell lead additives for fuel. I've even seen oil lead substitutes in the stores too! At least that's what they got in my area. (MO)
my scooter is only 10 cc larger, but it idles way lower at about only 16-17 hundred rpm, the idle for this thing would be the engage point for my scooters clutch, why is it idling so high?
I'd heard of this engine decades back, also the Channel Island Special. Sure is a free revving little thumper - is there any way to retard the timing for a nicer idle? I was a fan of the little four strokes, an O.S. FS-60 was my first in '77 and went on to use several others. Edit: Fine ginger kitty in the background. Also noticed one of your mounting screws was vibrating loose.
The cat didn't run away, respect :-D
If it was a dog, it'd run away.
for how small it is, that engine sounds exactly like my 100cc bike lol, awesome ma dude!!!

beautiful engine. I love seeing these old motors in working order. Thanks for posting this.
Nice engine, liked the orange cat too.
The cat doesn't seem to care lol
I noticed that too. Probably heard so often he's used to it... or deaf

I really like the integrated magneto, that orange cat was chill as hell.
Came for the engine, stayed for the Cat in the backgrounds reaction. 1:58
Thumbs up for the kitty. I like the engine too.
cat's being all zen in the background..
hilarious
....I bet that cat is thinking, I wish he'd just bug off with that damn noisy motor.
tsc RECYCLE e-scrapper cute cat
Never mind the engine. Did no one notice the poor cat had a big plexiglass ring collar around it's neck.
Propably deaf after all the years....^ ^ and the thing doesnt move , so...
that's awesome. would love to buy or make one. the water cooling is cool. it's ready for a rc boat
That cat's in for a rude awakening.
Dam that little 0.015L sounding smooth :D
What a beauty wow all the best parts of a nitro ie smaller. Quieter but petrol nice and that silencer was lush!!
sounds good to hear the flowing water😃😃
still sounding awesome :O
A beautiful engine, and a peaceful Cat 😎
wow
\even an oiler for the bearings
freaking amazing

Awesome engine. Great video, great subtitles.
I like the way you put in 'shaky' letter effect to the video
That was rather yt image stabilization.
...that’s one cool cat...and a lovely motor...
i am going to laugh if you tell the rest of the people in this comment section that it is not your cat
nice little push rod engine
Very good your engine. Congratulations!
Greetings from Brazil,
Leandro Wagner.
Cool demonstration!
Its turning backwards. Why is everything in England backwards?
damn left-handed
29710online that’s not backwards.
Fred Smith he's turning the flyweel
Fred Smith he is starting the motor from the back, so it's not backwards. The shaft is still moving clockwise like any other engine.
Fred Smith Old Cox motors will run in either direction.
A tear down video would be cool
Very impressive , has an almost 2 stroke like burble to it .
its beautiful
Neat piece of engineering
Old school ! congratularions! rare view!
Pretty calm cat. Mine would jump out of their fur.
The cat is planning to put this engine in his car.
Would love to see this re worked into a hpi rc monster truck
clicked on this for the engine but watched the cat
Luar biasa,canggih,bisa beli dimana..trims
I'd like to see someone build a (scale)multi cylinder engine for the Spitfires/Me109's/etc

+tapper88 i guess its a good thing this engine dont have fuel injection or o2 sensors or an exhaust at all then huh
nice engine!!... the cat is awesome!!
4T engine allways sound like that :D
Sweet mechanics, whats it for? Whats the run time? 7 minutes, 15 minutes?
How much oil does it use?
Thanks for sharing, the water noise in the background was driving me insane, literally insane.

The cat didn't give a damn!
Now put a turbocharger on it
He'd probably need one of those mini turbos for keys.
Actually an electric fuel pump for an auxiliary/transfer tank is set up very similar to a roots supercharger.

Why does every fucking moron say now fit a turbocharger ?
@@screener545 the key thing is something else: geometric compression
Still makes more power then a Cumin's! lol
oh man ur funy
Oh I know I am.
That is a buety sounds great love it 🤙🤙🤙
Thanks a lot for sharing. I've got one but is the version without magneto, plastic oiler is also broken.
top rpm? i want a 5cc version for RC cars lol
love the engine and that cute cat ...:) nice video
Are you going to stick it inside of something or is it going to be a desk engine?
I also saw it is watercooled, this is for a boat?
nice cat!!!! :)
beautifull small motor.
how did you get the leaded fuel i fought it was banned
It's not banned it's just lowered in modern gas
Seems like all the auto part stores sell lead additives for fuel. I've even seen oil lead substitutes in the stores too! At least that's what they got in my area. (MO)
its incredible
Nice motor!
Where can you get leaded gasoline? I wonder if flint has it
After building one of these, why dont you think they aren't as famous as nitro ones or mass produced?
Dashz because a nitro engine has 3 moving parts and doesn't require the clearances and finesse a 4 stroke does.
Well I know many 4 stroke nitro engines like Saito so...
Does it burn oil? You started with the reservoir full and after a minute it's half full
3w
+wjåjaca nikos what?
I believe it does, yes.

Got it running, nice. Cat just chillin.
almost sounds like a valveless 2 stroke weedwacker motor even though its a 4 stroke
Really Nice engine
Still have the Maine coon cat?
Unfortunately, gone...
I was expecting the 🐈 to flee as soon as the engine started... must be used to his owner's hobby
but what about the superb silencer?
Cool...Water cooled?...but where is the water pump?
25%of comments cool engine 74% look at the cat
a vela é maior que o cilindro
+AnonymusGamer_ BR tivesse uma vela com o isolamento menor
, ficaria mais legal nele
thumb's up for that cat !
wooooooooooow bueatifull .can i use this engin in bycicle or with a genirator to give electric?
The push rods look like they are bending mate
can I you a electric alternator with this to make genarator??
Super cool!
Their is no cap over the spark plug how does it get spark?
what did you end up doing for the exhaust?
What did you end up doing for the exhaust ? What a fucking stupid question you moron
That is a sweet liquid cooled 4 stroke engine. Runs pretty good for as old as it is.
is there any new type of this engine for sale?
Where is the oil going is it going into the garde where is the oil going is it going into the Green thing on the ground or is it using it
I want to buy from where I can
Beautiful built water cooled tiny engine great saving on nito
I know it's a 4-stroke, but it sounds remarkably like my old lawn boy mower.
It revs quite well, probably close to doubling the rpms of that old mower so it sounded like a two stroke at the beginning.
twist the belt will help you start the engine..
where did i get this type of engine
You should build a small generator with that.
If i want to buy such engines , where i will get that
HUGE MONEY, saw a Gannet go on ebay for over 4g's
Can someone give me Some help with a cheap rec gas engine? What would you guys recommend?
good small engine!
Haha... Sir,, your cat
Could this engine run on propane or fuel that is not liquid?
Btw really good work!
@Anthony Wright to be honest i dont really remember🤣 l think i was trying to run a 4 stroke motor on propane and wanted to hear your oppinion
How much could engine like this cost?
Awesome engine
Good. Amazing, support brother...
