A couple of years ago, I built the Stirling Engine below from plans in a book called "Model Stirling Engines" by Rudy Kouhoupt.
I like the looks of it, but, this dog won't hunt! It doesn't run. It comes darn close, but no cigars!
I tinkered and tinkered and as far as I can tell, everything is to specifications. I just put in on the shelf out of disgust, but now I want to re-visit it.
Anyone here in Hobby Machinist Forum Land know how to troubleshoot Stirling engines?
Any one have the video Rudy made about this engine? http://bay-com.com/pid/184/Machining_DVD.html
Thanks in advance! Dave
