I used the same e-mail address.
But with so many new machines Jin must be very busy  :D
Nick explained it above, it's about copyright.

Kind regards

Bonjour,

What a great moment, just out of its box, it runs perfectly.

Please note: the user guide describes an engine with a carburetor; this is a mistake.

The setting I found for the gasoline I use (2-stroke alkylate gasoline) is to open the needle valve between 1/2 and 3/4 of a turn.



Thank you Jin  ;)

Looks like I may have ended up being in the group of “returned” engines as I received a new tracking number this morning  :(  Hoping I still get the original I ordered with “Monitior” on it…

Hi Raphael, I am so glad you are happy with your Monitor engine!

What number is yours?

Bonjour Gil,

My engine has the number three ;D

I wonder which one the Z01 I already preordered wil have... i guess you will go on being number one  ;)

Besides this, I saw the mishap that happened to Henri and I'm glad he was able to put everything back in order and get his number eight working.

Who is number two ?

Besides this, we have the Retrol & Musa HM-01(bought with Enginediy or Stirlingkit) engine, now the B01 Retrol & Okmomodel one, do you know who Retrol is ?

They seem to have a site https://retrolengine.com/ and build and are not fully sellers ???

Tracking says it is still in China… or back in China 😩 😂

Been tracking my reshipment, it arrived in Chicago and says it "Customs clearance in destination country completed" and just got two more updates "Express shipment arrives at processing center" and "Shipment leaves processing center".

Maybe it will get transferred to USPS next, then get to watch it bounce around in their system.  Would be nice to get it this next week so I could take it to the NISPC Sycamore show or at least in time for the Baraboo show the following weekend.
