With a new "set" of spark plugs (18 total, 2 per cylinder) new oil, and fuel, she is freaking mint. Gotta love the sound of a radial engine starting up.

Ahhhh... you might want to make a correction in your title... You said it is a Curtiss Wright R-1830, and that is incorrect. The R-1830 was built by Pratt And Whitney and is a two row 14 cylinder engine, 7 in each row. The Curtiss Wright engine is an R-1820 and is a single row 9 cylinder engine with 18 spark plugs, 2 per cylinder, and from the sound it gave off, I would say it is a Curtiss Wright R-1820. Both types of engine were used on the DC-3, with the Pratt and Whitney R-1830 being more common, especially on the military C-47 series.

Please explain the sounds that the engine produces prior to starting. What is the spinning sound and why does the propeller rotate slowly before the engine actually fires? What type of starter motor does this engine have?
@chrisdidomizio49585 ай бұрын
I've worked on many 40's and 50's horizontal engines and there are 2 sounds you hear. Most airplanes I dealt with had mechanical primer pumps but it almost sounded like an electric primer pump and the second is the mechanical starter. It's spins up and you pull a cable that engages the starter Bendix/gear. The propellor rotates slowly because it's a gear reduction, the engine is rotating fast and the prop is moving at a fraction of its speed(I had to look the gear reduction prop up-Im only familiar with the P+W R-985 and R-1340). The type of starter motor is probably a direct drive with a mechanical Bendix.

I'm working on a university project that requires me to recreate or source sounds according to a provided movie clip, in my case it is the plane crash scene from Madagascar 2, which features a Lockheed Model 14 Super Electra, and the audio from this video would be perfect. I'm hoping you see this comment and write back with permission for me to use the audio, as it would be a great addition for my production. I hope to hear back, all the best.

So on radial engines, the oil pan drain down to the bottom cylinder. As a result you have to check for "hydraulic lock" by motoring the engine or turning it by hand. If you tried just full send it and there's Oriole in the bottom cylinder you will really mess up the engine.
@epicspacetroll13992 жыл бұрын
@@thesoullessmechanic6350 Interesting, I'd heard some could collect in the bottom cylinder, and so figured some turning over would be good to redistribute it, but didn't know enough could collect in the cylinder itself for hydrolocking. That would certainly be one way to wreck an engine! Yikes!
