[SEL] two questions about hit n miss engines

[Kangas, James G.]

I didn't know that.I thought it would be like a modern governed engine in that it would work at full output under load and drop back to idle or in the case of hit n' miss, start missing when there was little or no load.

Hi Jim,

If you load a hit n miss engine until it is hitting every time you are working it too hard.

"* In my experience hit and miss run cooler and the hoppers don't boil dry nearly as fast as throttle-governed. " 

I didn't think of that and it would made scense if the engine only fired once in a while. If the engine is working under load does it still miss or do they fire constantly?    Jim
