Hello everyone, I have a question: what is the system idling of a Century engine with carburetor Villiers?
I ask because it seems to me that my engine LLS has the least a little high. maybe it's just me ...

OT sorry
the video is terrible, it seems the boat at sea during a storm, at least that's the impression that watching a video like that.
how come no one firmly holds the camera or phone and let the chosen subject fills the frame?
yet it is not difficult here, it takes the pills for seasickness

an anchor
and this is the head of the motor

Greetings to all the friends of the forum, I would like to bring my small contribution with a couple of short films, filmed by mobile phone, my LLS in 1966 with the drain holes closed and the recirculation of cooling water in the muffler
.
I started closing the bottom drain hole with a bolt and how ...

This morning I tried to start the engine and I am glad I saw out daal hole discharge a quantity of small reddish lumps that I had off last night with the thin screwdriver.
I left the engine running for about ten minutes and I saw that the water discharge has become clear sign that many of the ...

Certainly, I realized that to do a thorough work must remove the cylinder from the crankcase at the moment but I would not do it, I'd be happy to have the engine running to do some sea trip next summer and then in autumn I will proceed with a accurate restoration of the parties comprising the ...

Good evening everyone, here I am with the updates today.
After disassemble the foot of the engine, I reversed the engine and I filled it with vinegar the cooling water pipe and I've also paid out of the hole of the cylinder.
I let it sit for about two hours and then I emptied the circuit and I ...

As promised, taking advantage of the daylight hours of late afternoon, I disassembled the carburetor and again, as I thought, I found the float stuck on the central pivot of the carburetor, the test because I had it by removing the float chamber, the float has been "hung"
seemed to be wrong on its ...

today's news
I understand that the float is frozen ... remains at the bottom so it does close the pin that blocks the entrance to benzian where the fuel continues to trickle out
but I can not understand what stops the float :?: ..... in the afternoon do some tests
Usually if the engine is running ...

and finally .... SPARK! Bluish strong spark.
How I got it you may ask yourself ... Just change the condenser. a small item I paid a € I fixed the electrical problem.
Following the your instructions, dear friends of the forum, you gave me, I managed to remove the flywheel and I also removed the box ...

The movie and certainly spectacular but I find it very very sad. :(
You saw how the fish are covered with blood? and agony that they? eat the fish like it too, I eat it and not cry over the plate but 'go with the boat while the fish jump on purpose it seems to me cruel because the possibility that ...

I also have a car now historic, a diesel Nissan Patrol 3300 tr 1989.
I do not get to travel 5000 km per year, the engine has 178000 km and starts with the first stroke in both summer and winter, and if when I do a full tank to add 10/15 litres of soybean oil or sunflower oil, is you have got it ...

today I tried using a multimeter to measure the resistance between the secondary coil and ground, with the multimeter set to 20Kohm resistance is indicated 3.2K
is correct?
I also tried to run the engine with the drill, but in the end, however, has not wanted to know from starting.
I do not know ...
