Really nice to see these old engines running, I've got a PAW 2.49 and a .80, You'll find the engine size stamped on the rear of the engine screw casing. I run mine up sometimes in my workbench too,lol
@@MarkCroucherRC4fun Progress Aero Works actually. PS. I know of one diesel enthusiast who disapproves of using electric starters on diesel engines. I can't see the problem myself unless either the contra-piston is screwed down so low that it touches the piston or there's so much fuel in the emgine that you get a compression lock.
@@daviddavis7710 I understand the logic with smaller engines than this (DC motors for example) however this is 2:5 cc if it cant stand the use of an electric starter then there is something wrong with it. 😊
Often there is nothing on the back plate, if it is an early engine, stamping the back plate was a later development, and an extremely useful addition 😀
I have about 25 of them and all have stamps.. mine must all be later ones, they all look the same :) I just hold them up to whatever they are going in and if they look right they generally just need a prop up or down :)
Runs lovely, will be great in a model, look forward to seeing it! 😜 Thanks for the shout out, its appreciated 😀
Thats a buety mark love it ,sounds wicked🤙🤙🤙

It's fun isn't it
@@MarkCroucherRC4fun Sure is, never had them in a plane,lol
Very nice mark, always nice to see an old engine given a new lease of life. Maybe a strip done and clean would do it well. 👍🏻
Yes the carb. had a strip down then away she went going to try the correct propeller for it and see how it goes.
@@johnbirkett Did not know this, you learn something every day.
@@johnbirkett not that I had any intention to do so but good to know. Cheers
Mark nice find. Jeff in LA USA
Looking for the next project to put it in.
Hai raggiunto l'obbiettivo con facilità , complimenti e grazie per il video
Looks like a2.5 cc - has a ball rase it seems, ❤
❤❤❤
Its a P.A.W. , Progress Engineering Works.
Thanks 👍

@@daviddavis7710 Very easy to get a hydraulic lock after priming the engine. I am one who would never use a starter on a diesel.

Should have a stamp on the backplate ? Look carefully they are not easy to see :)

Just gave the backplate a clean with some alcohol... Yep 2.49 stamp.
