Kalt .45 4 Stroke Engine is Antique. Let's run it.

One of the first 4 Strokes to hit the market in the early '80s was this Kalt .45. It was manufactured by Kalt Sangyo of Tokyo, Japan and was one of my most reliable and greatest flying engines for my planes. It needed no muffler and used no or low nitro content fuel to run.
I decided to run it for all of you to see and here.
Thanks for watching.

There are lots of modern 4 stroke engines. Try googleing Saito 4 stroke to see some of the most popular.

This is a single cylinder. There are plenty of 4 stroke engines with 2 cylinders, and even lots of V-8's.

wait…. 4 stroke with 2 pistons?

Thanks. Well 4 …
Thanks. Well 4 stroke engines are really popular with the gas airplane crowd as they sound more realistic, have lots of torque and are way quieter than screaming 2 strokes. My next gas plane will have a Saito twin 4 stroke in it. It is a 1/4 scale P-51 mustang.
This one ran messy because I ran regular model airplane fuel in it instead of 4 stroke fuel, so there was lots of synthetic oil running out the exhause, but normally they are way cleaner than 2 strokes. Dont give up on em yet.

wow after many years and that baby still up and running, now thats impressive !
As much credits we'd like to give these engines, but we also have to admit that these engines are becoming obsolete now a day.. giving ways to the new types of motors lighter faster and very quiet also less messy.
Wouldn't you agree Mr Herbert?

Since my channel is specifically designed around model airplanes and helicopters, I don't need to be that specific! Do you write this stuff just to be "smart"?

Those Kalt .45 four-stroke engines sure are rare now. Do you have the Enya 40-fc open-rocker four-stroke engine? These engines are really neat also. Thanks for the video.

There is no oil in …
There is no oil in the Crankcase, because the mixture of fuel is like a 2 stroke with lots of synthetic oil in it (you can see where it came out of the exhaust on the wood after running it rich at first. There is grease packed into the cam gearbox. Thanks kindly for the stars.

i dont know much about these engines but do they require oil in the case since its a 4 stroke? could it be ran off propane? 5 stars for the post
