Well now, isn't that cute! A whole lot of time and effort is obvious and lots of detail! 

I hope he can get it tuned up to where it runs decent though! Runs like crap and smokes up a storm as far as I can see!

Probably needs a good injector. Have one that small to send him?

Early in the video he mentions that he had to put a restriction - 1/16" - in the air intake to keep it from running away.  He must be injecting too much fuel.  Also looks like a copper line to the injector - and I think he said it's a gas orifice for an injector - so no needle to seal it off?  The right sized injection pump, a real nozzle, and it would be great!

And I have to admit - it IS CUTE.  I want to build one, only more like full size!  Anybody got any plans?  Anybody know how much time he spent on it?

What a commendable effort into uncharted waters. As far as Im concerned it looks stunning and runs great.

[dieselgman]

Agreed! The fact that that little machine runs is a remarkable feat. I would bet there are thousands of hours invested there.
I have seen some other micro-engine projects built from scratch like that including V-12 aircraft models, but run on gasoline or propane.

That's very cool. I'd love to see it driving an actual load, like a mini ST generator head.
