Bonjour,
I like Hit & Miss engines and bought several to Mirocosm. I am not a mechanic and prefer buying an engine Ready To Run.
This one would interest me but on the videos shared in this topic; it seems not "Missing" and running very fast.
Do you think it a recurring problem in the design of the governor in particular ?
Yes, I believe the governor design is not large diameter and has more international friction and to strong of springs and spins at half speed of an ET1 model. All these could hold it back from peak performance.
Other than the "governor" itself, almost every other part of the engine has been improved in my humble opinion.
I believe with the "stock" governor it will be difficult to equal a well tuned ET1....having said that, Every version of these engines CAN be improved.
I believe for many, it is the "tuning" part that can be so satisfying, taking an affordable engine and making it run more like it's full size brother.
Others just want it to be perfect right out of the box, the most widely available version of the Enjomor is really a "kit" and the buyer must hook up the wires and make a "base".
There IS a "ready to run" version with a wooden base, but it is not widely available yet. The RTR version still has the fast run issues.
If you like the engine, but not the way it runs?...it may be wise to wait for some time until several talented persons (like many on this forum) have tuned the Enjomor version. If you like the way there engines run, perhaps one of these tuners could ship you the parts or you could ship your new unfired Enjomor to them for a tune job. It remains to be seen if some clever person can beat a Well tuned ET1 for slow run hit and miss performance, but I believe the Enjomor is worthy of being tuned IMHO.
