The DEEZIL doesn't need a muffler: for the most part they are extremely quiet, since they almost never run.

@raymondo162 8 жыл бұрын

When you pour sooooo much fuel thru the exhaust port and fill the crankcase, you cause a 'hydraulic lock'. When you force past the hydraulic lockout, that's when the crank bends........??

This brings back a lot of memories. My first engine was the ED bee and this one looks like the ED competition special which was 2cc I believe. Nice work.

+Carmel Pule' I also have the ED Bee, It is a very reliable runner and never fails to start. Check out my engine blog if you are interested in old diesels.and search for your favorites. antiquemodelenginesrunning.blogspot.ca/

As a kid we had a small Frog diesel in an RC boat, after many hours of running it seemed to lose compression after some home brew fuel, think it was detergent oil, engine was good as new after cleaning and proper castor based oil in the fuel

@lexander5 You are absolutely correct the engine just long enough to run out the prime:just a few seconds, but who wants to watch a 6 second video so I looped the segment several times to make it appear like a longer run. Just increasing the compression high enough for ignition will put too much stress on the crank web and cause bending failure.

So it was bent to begin with and got worse. Nice shot of the parts. Thanks ever so much, PV Bangkok

Of course! You are perfectly correct. Even this engine can be modified to run very well if, you are an machinist. Take a look at the video response that shows a modified engine running.

Great video documentation about the Deezil story!! you got it to the point! I had build for my engine a new stronger shaft,and a new piston,and than its a nice longstroke engine....but you have to do it....if you have the machine and skills.. I love the smal diesels!...have collect somthing about 60+ ...great stuff! Regards Peter,Netherlands

@@DavidCrocker-Davideo I was taking into consideration the problems it had, just getting it running. I know nothing of that particular brand, just a few here and there in my life, enough to enjoy a really good running, powerful throaty one, and fooled with enough to know they can be finicky any time. I used to build vehicle engines regularly, and have fooled around a bit with model plane engines, but am old enough to afford the ones I could never even consider as a kid, or as a father. I've got a "29" off ebay with no points, dirty no longer stuck, never run one of them before, but have seen and heard a number running very well on here. I worked on 897 inch diesels, in 200 KW generators for three years, real works, could barely keep them running week to week, because they were stand-by, never loaded or used, and not properly run up and expected to start when power went out.

@DavidCrocker-Davideo 11 жыл бұрын

True, but this one is called a DEEZIL: perhaps the manufacturer didn't know how to spell "diesel" but the called it the DEEZIL and embossed its name on the front of the crankcase. There were millions of these manufactured back in the old days.

When I first built model aircraft this engine was the only option there was for those who didn't have a bundle of money to drop on an engine.

@kencroft7933 5 жыл бұрын

Who ever said that the Deezil is a "Slag" engine is talking through his fundamental orifice. The term Slag is used for vintage engines (not modern) where the piston runs directly in the aluminium of the cranckase casting, with no separate steel or iron cylinder liner. The Deezil is not a Slag engine, it is just a crap engine, no doubt about that.

I had a couple of McCoy red head diesels, Teflon contra-piston melted, never ran well enough to fly with them. Druids at the field would run diesels on stands to prove they would run, few actually flew with them. Europeans seemed to have success with the smelly things.

@DavidCrocker-Davideo 3 жыл бұрын

Yes you are right; they are awful smelly things. In all my years of flying I think I only successfully flew one model with diesel, a 2.49 cc PAW and after each flight the side of the model was black with oil. It stank so badly that I had to store it in the chicken house, wrapped in a feed bag.

You must have bent the shaft by hand, doubt you got it to actually run and crash. These had to be re-machined to become runners. LOL

@TestECull 3 жыл бұрын

It's why the fuel used is just a 70/30 mix of bar and chain oil, ether. Not a normal fuel mix. All that oil is making up for so many deficiencies in the engine.

@albertsammut433 7 жыл бұрын

These are what are termed SLAG engines from back in the day..fits,materials,machining etc where all questionable..but occasionally a few did run..more a collectors novelty engine than a runner for flying..Only ever seen one running/flying a vintage model and that belonged to a machinist who completely replaced all the internals.

Old wife’s tail, the engine doesn’t know if a finger is flicking it or an electric motor is turning does it ?

@scrapwire1 4 жыл бұрын

@@tonywright8294 But a finger will be stopped by extra hard compression and won't bend a rod when too much fuel got on top of the piston, that starter will just break something, But feel free to do as you please. Also, if a model engine is bushed,(No Bal Bearing), it should be hand started, the push holding the starter against the prop can grind away at the prop drive or I have seen the crank pushed into the rear cover grinding a nice groove in the rear cover, filling the case with aluminum particles that run through the engine. Go below and read Raymond Ashby's comment from 4 years ago, explains it better than I did.

I’ve spent over 50 years making and running ic engines it’s just down to common sense . You would have to be a complete fool to keep trying to start an engine if it was flooded! I have to use an electric starter because of arthritis in my hands .But you do have a good point regarding total idiots. Keep flicking Tony.
