Bonjour,
As suggested by Jim, I have added a drop of oil on the crankshaft and as usual have had a lot of difficulties to adjust this engine, and I succeed finally :

Bonjour Jin,
Thank you in advance, and I hope my futureB02 will be complete ;D

Raphaël until you receive the oiler from Jin, I think you would be safe running it by using a syringe to put some oil down the hole for lubrication.
They are a great engine, just be careful of the rods, they can easily be knocked out and dropped on the ground by your fingers when you lift the engine up.
I'm sorry to see this, we are sending a new M4 oil cup to you. Jin

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?

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.

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.
