Good Day Gents

I am new here and wanted to first say hello to everyone and thanks for all the great info.

I received my little Enjomor a few days ago and put together a base for her.
I decided to go with a single 18650 cell at 3.7 volts for ignition, works great.
I am running Coleman Naphtha and Marvel Mystery Oil, 100ml to 3ml mix
I opted to use silicone spray lube only on the governor and light sewing machine oil on all other bearing surfaces.

To start this particular engine - open needle valve 1/2 turn bring her to compression choke with your finger
                                  and give her a crank by hand
                                - turn needle valve to one turn open and crank again no choke and she usually fires
                                  right up.
This is a great little engine, very scale looking , I have managed to slow her down to about 3 to 4 hits before the governor engages by using a guitar string to make a lighter spring.
I am going to try a smaller gauge guitar string to make a lighter spring to try to get her to slow down a bit more.

Overall I am very impressed with this little engine and the fine tuning and experimentation is the fun part.

Take Care
