ENYA 049, 06 engine

It's great to see other Enya collectors chime in here.

A part of my .049/06/08 collection. But none are for sale.



If you would like to branch out a bit to .09's I find these first generation model 3001's to be fascinating.

Since taking the photos, I have ordered and received new carbs (last of them) from Ken Enya.
They were $12.00 a piece plus shipping came to a total of $33.23.

The one on Ebay is for the Enya 049, Mine are the Enya 06.
The 049 will work on the 06 but for the glow it needs a larger venturi opening.
I have also done a lot of dealings with shtterman. Good dealer --- is ok with returns if part doesn't work.

Made a trade to an Aussie for two Enya 08 diesels for three Cox Texaco engines.
Will get the engines after the pandemic is over.
Also have done a lot of trading with this Aussie for engines.
He sends me engines I like, and I send him engines he can't get there.

Thanks basswood

Asked Ken if he had any 049 / 06 / 08 any where in his warehouse? NONE

Funny thing is, all the photos are of Glow engines, and we are in the Non-Cox Diesel engine section?

I was over in Japan in May 2008. My company sent me over there for 2 weeks.
I had the weekend for myself, Monday through Friday was my work day.

I was at the Isuzu Fujisawa Plant (10 miles from Tokyo) where they were making the Isuzu Trooper.
Found a large toy store. It was like going to the Mall of America! and looked around ( for 1/2 the day).
They have the neatest stuff. R/C motorcycles, cars, planes, almost anything you could imagine.

By the time I left, I looked like one of those women with countless bags on their arms.
Yes, I picked up ½ dozen Enya engines, some electric motors and controllers, small stuff I could pack into suitcase.

If I had enough time and money, I would have taken all the Enya engines in the display case.
I saw plenty of the small 049, 06, 08, and 10 engines. The shop keeper (salesman) said they were made
for Japan to beat the imports engine that size coming into the country. The were made cheaper than the
usually made Enya engines.

If I know what I know now back then I would have snatched up all the little Enyas.
I was more interested in (back then) 20 to 30 size engines and just getting interested in 4-strokes.

I fine it interesting a YouTube video of a Japanese person with a new Enya 06 diesel trying to start it and trying to get it to run.
Also, It's a good You Tube on how not to start a diesel engine (let alone any engine).
The poor Enya is over compressed. The contra piston is too far down towards the piston, that is why it will not run.
I was taught to have the needle valve closed (no fuel), back the compression screw off one turn.

1.) Prime the engine in the exhaust port, then quickly "flip" the prop.
2.) Nothing happens, turn the compression screw in 1/4 turn. then try step #1 again.
Nothing happen again, do step #2.
When it finally runs briefly (runs the prime out) open the needle valve 2 turns and choke the engine.
Most of the time this will get you to the correct setting to start the diesel engine without it being over compressed
and to where you won't bend the connecting rod.
One more thing  ---- NEVER USE A STARTER ON A DIESEL THE WAY THE PERSON IN THE YOUTUBE DOES









Here is a You Tube of him abusing a poor PAW engine.
I know for a fact that PAW test runs their engines before they leave the factory.
So the settings are close enough for you to start and run their engines.
At 2:03 you can see he has it over-compressed. It won't turn over.

At the end of the video he says he was successful. At what?



Best one is the Russian MAP-3 engine (2.5cc). Another video of what not to do.

PS: You can see my collection below.

Tomas,
If you are really want to collect these engines, you need to go to the Japan's version of Ebay called Yahoo Japan Auction.
But the thing is, you need to have a broker to pickup and ship it to you.
Buyee charges $10.00 for each item (broker fee)
If you want to purchase from Yahoo Japan Auction you have to sign up to Buyee.
Here is an Enya engine I have been watching.
