5 Sure Start Engine Radial

I bet he is married. If he was single he would do his own laundry. Then, there would be no way in hell he would get the laundry and the rest of the laundry room all castor slobified. I am speaking as a single man.

Personally I think he is probably a bachelor or a divorcee. Reason why I say this is that he probably figures that any whiff of glow fuel exhaust can be washed off dirty laundry. Also, he probably figures he can just open windows afterwards to clear the glow fuel exhaust fog. The laundry room is too small to run an engine in without it becoming very smoky quickly.

Even running a small engine, I find the garage filled with glow exhaust smoke. Reason is I use the same size bench run tank, a 1 ounce. Only difference is that a larger engine will burn through that 1 ounce faster than a smaller engine. End result is the same amount of glow exhaust.

Someone else posted another video on Facebook of a 5 cylinder radial Cox he created, but his layout was a single crankcase.

I think I may have found one of this guys relatives....

I think you're right NEW222. You can see the oil fog from the engine starting to cloud the living room. I'd never run an engine in a living room, let alone anywhere in the house except for the garage, and that with the cars out.

I ahve started a Enya .29 (tring to get a break in ) in my bed room when i was a teen and talking about a LOUD Noise man my dad thought i had lost it for sure that didn't last LONG !! If these guys didn't live alone they do now !

Yup, I'm sure you got your Dad's attention, hopefully it wasn't with a belt. I've run my Testor McCoy .35 Red Head in the garage. It was loud but I had earmuffs on. One ounce of fuel put a lot of Castor smoke in the air during winter. I then opened the garage and back door to quickly air it out. I didn't want to coat the walls and objects in the garage with Castor mist.
