Awesome looking engines!
-
Mine came this morning, took it out of the box and it looked fine. Put some Coleman in it Oiled it up land after a little fiddling with it off and running.
See for a little action: https://www.officeofsteamforum.com/videos-the-office-of-steam-cinema/ball-top-monitor-belted-to-a-water-pump/msg71296/#msg71296

Mine has also left the Chicago processing center! ;D
-
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.

Bonjour Nick,
Waiting is part of the fun... or so they say ;)
It’s been a wait alright 🤣
Might not be spelled quite the same .... but it fits pretty well anyway!

Updated today to Hong Kong International Airport.

#2 might be Nick however he is waiting for the re-shipment of it.
That would be neat if it is and hopefully I find out soon :D
Tracking says it is still in China… or back in China 😩 😂

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 ???

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 ;)

Hi Raphael, I am so glad you are happy with your Monitor engine!
What number is yours?
Gil

I felt so unbelievably bummed for Henry and what happened with his -

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…

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 Thomas,
I had the opportunity to place my order at the start of the offer, which I also did for the future Z01 ;)
I like sharing with Jin and use this address : service@okmomodel.com, so do you ?
He always answers to my messages.
Based on what I see :
https://www.enginediyshop.com/products/retrol-okmo-b01-hit-and-miss-gasoline-engine-model?_pos=16&_sid=a5ccd24a1&_ss=r
The B01 engine sold by Enginediy seems the same, why would they change the mold ?
-
Hi Raphael,
So you are one of the lucky ones who got a machine from the first series.
I asked Okmo if there were any machines with the logo still available, but unfortunately I didn't get an answer.
Another possibility would be a sticker, but it would have to be fuel resistant.
I'm currently considering whether I should order from Enginediy.
There is still a discount of 100$.
Unfortunately, the machines are probably without a logo :-(
Kind regards,
Thomas

Bonjour Thomas,
Just received mine, number 3, the logo is cast and yellow/gold painted !
Video will come soon.
-
Hi there,
...“Monitor” will only be on the first batch because of trademark issues
Is the logo casted in on the first series or is it a sticker?
Kind regards
Thomas

Nick
Thanks, I will await a tracking number email
Bob
UPDATE:
The tracking number came today, so now just watch it moving along.
-
I received an email with tracking number and the only thing it says is “China Post”. I’ll let you know if it updates…

Bob

Bonjour Jin,
No problem, I just can't wait to play with it and share my experience with my followers ;D
-
Bonjour Nick,
As I was the second person to pre-order one, I hope mine will also be shipped soon.
Is France closer than USA for China ;) ?
This is international transportation, and customs are different from each country! We hope you can understand that we have not stopped working.

This is a beautiful new engine from Jin...!!!
I can barely wait for mine.

Just ordered mine, I have the order number. I saw the paypal go through, it had a receipt guess that will be only one.
Bob
-
I ordered mine this morning, hopefully it will get here as the drop down menu reset and set my address as being in Alaska vs Minnesota… I have emailed Jin and he said he will make a note on the order… my PayPal receipt has the correct address so fingers crossed, but it will be a long wait! This has always been one of my favorite looking engines
Its a really beautiful engine isn't it Nick.
