Space Bug bench run

I have never seen one of these thing run so I popped off the tank back and it looked clean so I mounted her up! This is the second run. Thr first run I didn't think it would start. When it fired off I grabbed the Iphone Very Happy

So if you have never seen one run here ya go!

Thanks Joe,

I got it in a box full of engines, who knows how long it's been sitting around. I was surprised it fired off to be honest. Usually I don't even bother messing around with them until I go through them. The tank was so clean I figured what the heck!

I hope it wasn't a never run one. If that's the case it just received one quick break in! lol!

I wasn't expecting it to scream so fast, it sounds like a Black Widow.

You know, that's what I thought maybe I need to take a peek at the porting.

The BW ports are even deeper than the dual port Bee's. I got an un-numbered BW cylinder mixed up with some other dual port cylinders and found it by comparing the port depth diameter with a caliper.

Good to know Rusty, I though all dual porters were created equal. My Space Bug is a dual port, but I think it's supposed to be. Also the piston to cylinder fit is exceptional. What I didn't know( although I should have assumed) is that the piston was a 3 piece and the glow head was one of those fancy old style ones. I guess I will switch them out before I run it again.
