Mysterious parts
Hi,
I just came across a 'bag of bits', containing this complete NVA + a separate needle (in fact 2 of them...) Could anyone here identify these parts.........as I haven't even a clue... (mind, posting here doesn't necessarily mean that the parts come from diesels...) |

The top needle with its 'cross-knurled' part, reminds slightly of AM....although a direct comparison shows that it isn't...
The fuel line fitting at the end of the spraybar with its turned 'multi-knurl' should be quite easily recognised...for the one who has seen one, that is.... As manufacturers often used uniform sized spraybars for wide ranges of engines, it is hard to judge the size of engine...I would say anything .049 up to .15.... |

This is similar enough to suggest that your 2nd NV might come from a Cameron engine. The attached is from my Cameron .09 "Rodzy" tether car. On my example the knurled thumb knob was placed on the end to facilitate turning it from outside the car body, but for other applications Cameron may have supplied the a NV in your example.

Gluehand, the bottom needle is from an OS Pet II. It is identical to mine. BOB

As long as we're talking needles. I got this with an engine it didn't fit. Over all length is almost 56mm.

The top one has yet to be identified though....that distinctive 'multi-knurle' fuel line fitting must be quite unique, but I cannot recall having seen one before..... |

the Russian-made "Marz" 2.5D.
Here's a tale of dark deeds and derring-do from the cloak-and-dagger side of the model engine trade—the saga of the Russian-made "Marz" 2.5D.

The factory muffler is reputed to drop the power substantially on this engine. Of course I have not proven it myself. There has also been some discussion of crankshaft integrety as well.
Using fuel that requires a lower compression setting probably is good for all diesels. My feeling on glow engine conversions especially it is prudent. I have heard that adding a little more ignitor to the fuel might enable this. Perhaps three percent rather than two percent considered the normally recommended amount. Anyone know? |
