Bob that's cool i really like mine but still yet to clean it up and i do want to run that baby for sure, i just wonder if it will run with the deflector over the carb. like that (covered with small hole) I am also looking at a Enya .06 i may bee able to pick up if the price stays down ?

I'm glad that you mentioned that Eric, I have it book marked. I already have a couple so will not bid.

Bob

My Enya 60 ran rather well with an exhaust restricter Eric, course it had a carburetor too.



How long have you had your Jim Walker Royal Spitfire?  Ebay find? Is it .068 displacement too?

Bob

I think they're .065

Yes, the "Royal" Spitfire was .065, "Spitfire" was .049 and the "Baby" Spitfire was .045.

Rod.

Great haul, Bob. I've been looking for a Firecracker that still has the restrictor plates on it for a while.  Someday I'll find one.

Hey Greg, where've you been all this time? it's been a while since we heard from you. Glad you're still with us.

I'm curious as to how the RPMs increase with the baffle???

Yes. .065.  I would like to blame my error on a typo but it was just the old noggin going to sleep again.  

Hey....Greg's back, took an old Enya to flush him out.  Yepeeeeeee.

Nobody loves my Golden Bee?  It's got that rompin stompin standard #2 cylinder and a good glow head.  Battle scars too, plier marks on the thrust washer lots of scratches on the fuel tank but at least the back plate isn't crushed by the securing screws.  Bet it will run well, can't wait to try it out.  Old times were good times.  

BTW - people...no need to use pliers on the drive washer, I use sized hardwood strips placed in the exhaust ports of all my engines to back off a stuck propeller. Tooth picks work too. This should be a no pliers zone...

Bob, I like that Golden Bee. The GB is one of the less rare Cox engines that I still haven't been able to find here in Finland. I'd like to have both the early model like yours and maybe also a late model with the thick neck crankcase.

Guess I should get an eBay account and start hunting

That Spitfire is nice too. I wonder how many different model airplane engine models there are in the world?
