M19 Vertical Hit and Miss Engine Model 1.6cc Mini 4 Stroke Gasoline Motor with Flyball Governor
Hero Section: A Vertical Tribute to Mechanical History
Inspired by the legendary Bob Shores "Silver Angel," the M19 is a rare gem in the world of model engines. Unlike common horizontal models, this engine stands tall—literally. Its vertical architecture showcases the rhythmic dance of the piston and valves in a new light. Crafted from gleaming brass and stainless steel, and featuring a mesmerizing Flyball Governor, this 1.6cc masterpiece is more than a machine; it is kinetic art. It brings the golden age of steam and gasoline right to your desktop, offering a tactile connection to the engineers of the past.
Why Choose the M19 Vertical Engine?
- Unique Vertical Architecture: Standing upright, the M19 offers a compact footprint and a distinctive visual profile. Watching the vertical motion of the connecting rod and the spinning governor on top is a hypnotic experience.
- The Flyball Governor: The crown jewel of this engine. Watch as the brass weights spin and flare out, mechanically regulating the engine's speed. It is a brilliant, visible demonstration of analog control logic that predates computers.
- Exquisite Craftsmanship: Every part is machined from high-grade Brass and Stainless Steel. There is no plastic here. Mounted on a solid wooden base, it feels heavy, substantial, and built to last a lifetime.
- Ready-to-Run (RTR): We’ve taken the frustration out of the build. The engine comes pre-assembled, wired, and mounted. Just add batteries and fuel, and you are ready to hear the satisfying pop-pop-pop of a hit-and-miss cycle.
Technical Highlights: Expert Analysis
- Air-Cooled Design: The vertical cylinder features deep cooling fins that effectively dissipate heat, allowing the engine to run smoothly without the need for water tanks.
- 4-Stroke Efficiency: Despite its small 1.6cc size (13mm bore x 12mm stroke), it operates on a true 4-stroke cycle, delivering surprising torque and a realistic exhaust note.
- Ignition System: Powered by 3x AA batteries (4.5V), the electronic ignition ensures reliable starting and consistent running, making it accessible even for beginners.

Usage Scenario
It’s a quiet evening in your study. You place the M19 on your desk. You fill the tiny tank with fuel and flip the switch. With a quick spin of the flywheel, the engine springs to life. The vertical piston pumps rhythmically, and the governor weights spin like a ballerina on top. You adjust the needle valve, and the engine settles into a slow, steady beat. It’s a moment of pure mechanical zen.
Important Tips
- Carburetor Tuning: If the engine won't start, the needle valve likely needs adjustment. Tighten it gently, then loosen by 1/4 turn. This is usually the sweet spot.
- Priming: Before starting, rotate the flywheel manually a few times to draw fuel into the cylinder and remove air bubbles from the line.
- Lubrication: Ensure all moving parts are oiled before use.
- Safety: Operate in a well-ventilated area. The engine gets hot; handle with care.
