OK, I've got a hankering for a hit-or-miss engine, and have been goingto auctions long enough to know that I'm just plain not gonna be able tobuy one. Does anyone have a source of plans for these, preferablysomething I can get/order online? I don't mind paying for qualityplans. Direct email responses are just fine if you prefer.It seems like a project that I'm probably ready for given my abilitiesand tooling, and the end product would be cool. So I think it meets anyreasonable criteria for a summer project.Thanks,Dave Hinz

Dave, if you go ahead with this very worthwhile project, make picturesas you go along, I would love to watch its progress. I will be veryenvious! (in a good way)i

No wind vanes on any hit'n'miss enginesI've ever seen. Most use a flyball type (centrifugal) on the crank. Some belt or chain driven.

The one I saw had a leather belt drive, and the mechanism that held the valve open was the two spinning balls.
