Kratmo 4A Repl.
This motor is a 2 stroke engine with .24 cu inch. It is equipped
with an electric ignition system, and the original machine was constructed
and built by Walter Kratzsch about 75 years ago, who created a whole “engine-family”
of several gasoline and diesel types with different engine sizes:
The 4A is the little brother of the famous Kratmo
10A. –
Logically there are only very few original engines left today; all in property
of model-engine-collectors, who usually store those engines in a glass case…
The replica of this engine I have reproduced in facsimile to the original
machine with a small constructive concession for easy use: I replaced the
sensitive contact –ignition with a maintenance-free
transistor-system - by maintaining the ignition advance:
This engine is no historic “sensible”, but a reliable solution
for daily use:
So every ambitioned builder of smaller antique model airplanes has now the
possibility to motorize his model adequately insound and optic with this special
engine…

For building the Kratmo 4A a small engine lathe and fundamental experience in metal processing are required. – It isn’t necessary to install an ignition system, as the Kratmo 4A can also be run with a normal glow plug and methanol-castor-mix. |
