Classic Meets Power: Retro 4-Stroke Gasoline Engine
Hey there, gearheads and engine enthusiasts! Allow me to introduce myself: I’m the high-performance 4-stroke gasoline engine that’s been turning heads and stealing hearts. Imagine a roaring powerhouse straight out of a retro sci-fi flick, blending vintage vibes with modern muscle. But before I start flexing my horsepower, let's take a nostalgic trip down memory lane to meet my granddaddy, the legendary 1140 Diesel Engine.
The 1140 Diesel Engine: A Classic Powerhouse Revisited
Ladies and gentlemen, rev your engines! Meet my ancestor, the illustrious 1140 Diesel Engine, proudly made by the Laizhou Power Machinery Factory in Shandong Province. This beast, affectionately called the "140 Diesel Engine," has some serious specs: a cylinder bore of 140mm, a piston stroke of 210mm, a displacement of 3.21 liters, and a whopping 12 horsepower, all humming along at 750 RPM.
Born in October 1953, the 1140 Diesel Engine was a trailblazer, the first of its kind from Laizhou,China. Fast forward a few decades, and this rare gem is now a prized exhibit in diesel engine museums, a testament to its rugged reliability and contribution to China’s industrial revolution. Though phased out in the mid-1970s, its legacy lives on, marking the beginning of China's internal combustion engine development.
But hold onto your hats, because I’m here to carry on that legacy with a modern twist. Introducing yours truly, a miniature gasoline engine inspired by the 1140 Diesel Engine. I capture the aesthetic essence of my diesel predecessor but run on good ol' gasoline, making me a convenient and cool companion for today’s enthusiasts. Let's dive into my specs and see how I stack up against my legendary granddaddy!
Meet the 4-Stroke Gasoline Engine: Engineered for Excellence
Today, the spotlight is on me, the miniature gasoline engine, a marvel of modern miniaturization. Crafted at a 1:8 scale, I’m a tidy 145mm long, 108mm wide, and 106mm high, weighing just 1500 grams with a 3.6cc displacement. I come in two snazzy versions: the trailer RTR version and the wooden base RTR version.
Features So Cool, You'll Want to Show Off
Craftsmanship Galore: I’m like a Swiss watch on steroids, with a cylinder diameter of 16mm, a brand-new metal piston ring, and an oil cup perched proudly on my piston. My cylinder liner has been upgraded to a honed cast iron sleeve. Add in a gear pump, an evaporative water cooling system, and an independent lubrication structure, and you’ve got an engine with a lifespan longer than your favorite pair of jeans.
Independent Lubrication: I’ve got oil channels designed on both my crankshaft and connecting rod. Once I’m humming along, oil flows from the connecting rod into the piston, providing top-notch lubrication. Talk about smooth! With an adjustable-speed carburetor and a throttle lever that lets you control the speed, my fun factor just went through the roof.
Outstanding Performance: I’m not just any desktop engine model; I’m the Beyoncé of desktop engines. Two stainless steel flywheels give me greater working inertia and allow for a lower idle speed. Start me up, and I transform into a ferocious little beast ready to rumble!
Ready to Run: My RTR version comes fully equipped, complete with a spark plug and igniter. Just add fuel and a battery, and you’re ready to rock and roll. Seriously, it’s that easy.
Ready, Set, Vroom: Simple Steps to Fire Up Your Engine
- Check my wiring and fuel tank tubing. Install an AA battery (1.5V), add cooling water to my water tank, and unscrew the oil screw at the back of my engine. Add 5mm of oil and screw it back in.
- Fill my fuel tank with gasoline (95#). After refueling, turn my flywheel clockwise several times to ensure the mixed fuel fully enters my cylinder. Make sure there are no air bubbles in the fuel line.
- Turn on the power switch and quickly rotate my flywheel clockwise on the right side (power switch side) to start me up.
Engine Wisdom: Pearls of Knowledge for Smooth Running
- If I don’t start despite normal ignition and cylinder compression, you might need to adjust my carburetor needle.
- Tighten my main needle on the carburetor, then loosen it by 1/4 turn. Spin my flywheel a few more times to achieve the optimal fuel-air mixture ratio.
- Always turn off my power switch after stopping.
