Packing was so-so, there was a tiny nick on one flywheel and scratches on the gas tank. i will not be using the gas tank anyway. I have seen video of this engine that included a plinth, but his version does not. You must mount make your own mounting to raise the engine up to allow the flywheels to rotate. You need to make your mount heavy because the full-circle crankshaft webs cause the engine to be very unbalanced. In short, it hops and dances if not clamped down. The compression is excellent, and the parts are nicely machined, The blue anodized finish is out of character with this type of engine, but makes a perfect base for paint. I will be painting my engine. Be sure to ground the ignition box to the engine frame somewhere. A wire is included. There are 2 springs on the flywheel governor, one heavy and one light. I removed the lighter spring to slow down the engine. I run my engine on Naphtha with a little 2-cycle mixed in to provide lubrication to the piston. There are no oil cups on the engine so use motor oil in a precision oiler to oil every moving part. I posted a video showing my engine running on a temporary mount. As you will see, it is easy to hand start the engine. I used 3 AAA cells to power the ignition box. Try 1/4th turn from closed for an initial fuel needle valve setting. If you machine or collect model engines (I do both), you will appreciate what an amazing value this engine represents!

KEVIN I received mine in under two weeks. A lot of the screws were loose. This is not really a big deal as if you’re into this Hobby then you are capable of disassembly and reassembly. The only complaint I have is my engine had the long hex head screws in both flywheels instead of Set Screws. It appears that whoever assembled my engine at the factory was out of the Set Screws and used the long hex head screws that are supposed to be underneath the engine holding the cylinder on. I had to purchase four small metric Set Screws and remove the four wrong hex head screws to install the Correct Set Screws! Then I installed the four hex head screws into the four missing underneath the cylinder. My engine was sealed in the box so it’s obvious that it left the factory in this poor assembly. Bottom line is for the money, mine was $199.00 on sale, you can’t beat the price and quality. The machining, anodizing and fits are well as it should be as this is obviously made on CNC tools. Lubricate all moving parts often and it should have a reasonable life expectancy. You couldn’t built this for triple the price and your time is worth something.
