I like that tiny radiator and water pump setup , I acquired my new HM-1 over a month ago and I do notice the head and cylinder hopper gets awfully hot after a lengthy run. I have concerns it might wear out the piston O-rings frequently. I do want to make, or find info on a cooling setup to aid in keeping the HM-1 a bit cooler.
Hi. The most important thing is to add oil lubrication from a two-stroke to four-stroke petrol! I replaced the original rubber piston O-ring with a pneumatic O-ring. This is more resistant to higher temperatures and is more wear-resistant. The cylinder head always gets warm to hot, just like the bottom of the cylinder. This is normal, the water may become warm as a result. The water pump and radiator provide the cooling system with a larger cooling surface. In addition, it is also a nicer sight because more parts move. Regards, Loek.
Hi Thomas. Thank you for your response. I have also been following you on RUclips because you are also busy with the machines. Nice to see someone doing this too. It remains a fun hobby! Regards, Loek.
very nice work, congratulations ! It would be easy to calculate the power of the winch by measuring the time required to lift a known weight to a measured height! ie power (W) = Weight (kg) x 9.81 x height (m) / time (s)
i need to ask a question i lost all the ball bearings for the crankshaft of my RETROL = RM=HM =01 can anyone help me tried purchased from StarLing and they did not help if someone can help please

Yep🙂

i need to ask a question i lost all the ball bearings for the crankshaft of my RETROL = RM=HM =01 can anyone help me tried purchased from StarLing and they did not help
if someone can help please
Hi. I do have a few ball bearings. I believe you need about 4 or 5? Send me an email, okay? Regards, Loek.
Or look on ebay - Kugellager Kugeln Kohlenstoffstahl Vollkugeln Stahlkugeln 1mm 2mm 2.5mm 3mm-20mm :
DIY EASY SHOP. Succes!
The ball bearings are 2mm by the way.... Greetings.
