Thanks Guys, these are the only two I have and I am glad that I bought them as they are a lot of fun.
I may get the vertical somewhere down the track. I also wouldn't mind getting a full size one.....but that may be dreaming, but they do come up for sale fairly regularly and have the eldest son keen.
@Raphael sorry for your woes, I'm hoping that it is just something very easy to fix so that you can enjoy your engine.
@Stilldrillin lol you'll nearly get to it and then someone will drop in near Christmas and you'll be asking didyabringyagrogalong :)
@Nick please mate....I don't need any encouragement....I hope you're using that link I sent you :) :) :)
@Stoker yes mate, steam, stirling and flamelicker/gulpers.....but these are nice to add.

Nice one Jim! Your video made me smile....
I haven't seen my M90, for the past 4 months. It is in it's box, on my workshop bench.
Waiting for the present multiple batch of canyerjust's, whenyergoingto's, and don'tforget's, to subside. ::)
Sometime around Christmas, I hope!

Bonjour Jim,
I am jaleous, lucky man ;) I have not had that chance with my M92...

Great Jim ... looks like you got a good one!
First model of the Hit & Miss line from Jin I think, but yours is almost identical to mine, which is a fairly early one. Only difference I note is that yours has a starter cord and pulley for it on the off-side flywheel which mine doesn't have .... but I've yet to feel the need for it on this simple basic model. Mine started up right away as well as I remember it, though I doubt it was on the very first flick, as I didn't have all the background of priming and other experience that is available out there now. I do have many hours on mine now, and some rather impressively long continuous runs, once I got it slowed down and only hitting occasionally. I think my best so far has it hitting about once every second, or just a little under 60 hits per minute, but Gil has tuned his down to only about 50 hits per minute if my memory serves.
Fun engines, and lots to do to keep them interesting ...... but I still prefer steam and Stirlings, though as an interesting diversion, this engine has been worth its rather modest price for quality received, to be sure!

Really enjoying watching you get started in the gas engine side of the hobby Jim :)
For some reason I thought you had the M91 on the way? Or do you have 3 now? :D
