VORTRIXE & OKMO 1110 Classic Yanmar Gasoline Engine Model NOT a Hit & Miss Engine
« on: December 23, 2025, 03:39:31 am »
VORTRIXE & OKMO 1110 Classic Yanmar Gasoline Engine Model
This is a really different engine compared to the Hit & Miss engines that I have in my collection from OKMO Microcosm and made by Jin.
This engine the piston has two gas rings and one oil ring, effectively preventing oil and gas leakage and enhancing the sealing performance and overall performance of the engine.  The engine oil fully lubricates the piston and camshaft through the connecting rod oil passage, it incorporates an oil filter and also a brand-new mechanical ignition method which is supposed to ensures accurate and reliable ignition.

Took the petrol tank off and very carefully took the paint off with a diamond hone, reckon it turned out nicely.

Bonjour,

I have just received my 1110 engine today and have a question before starting it :

I have no oil cup on the right side of the flywheel on my #3 engine, is it normal ?

Thank you in advance for your answers,

Can you post up a photo please to clarify Raphael? There is one (1) oil cup on the 1110.

Raphaël yes there should be an oiler there, also there should be a very wee brass wingnut for the top of the carburetor cover......were these things not in your accessory bag?
