My s1r9a9m9 replication!

First I would get the carb back on. Get gas back into it. Get it running again. ANd get it up to operating temp. Get the timing back to 30degress BTDC. I believe this was where he started at. Then using a "Y" valve setup slowly turn off the gas and change it to water. then let the carb put the water in no pumping.

But non of it will work without the inverter setup. I believe someone figured the coil by itself is about 90 joules and with the inverter on it is around 250 to 300 joules.

I rememeber in early 80's the carbs used a heater plate between the manifold and carb. That could be a thought later on.

I would get the water to a certain temp just above 120degrees, This way it won't take wuch to get it to flash. Also are you using distilled water? Seems regular water that can transfer electric would be better. distilled would take alot more to get it to go.

Walmart has cheap water heaters in the cup, pots and pan sections. You could try that to help heat the water.

Do you have a diagram of the diode setup?

If I lived near you I would lend a hand.

Yeah all this mechanics stuff is bogging me down.  I'm contemplating on going to a one cylinder engine until I get my stuff straightened out.  Yes I do have a diagram:

What year and size of engine are you working with? You still will need a timing light

I am not sure it would be any easier in a one cyl engine. Just because there is no easy way to time it.

Also I do not recall him saying anything about the 110 from grounding. Just that he made sure the inverter was not grounded to the body. Meaning the body of the inverter was not touching the body of the car.


This shows the y feed to the carb. THe water is higher then the engine. but it still feeds into the carb the same way the gas is feed into the carb. This way you can shut one off after it is running.

Hope this can help

I'm looking into electronic ignitions for one cylinder engines, right now I'm teetering on whether to stick with a six cylinder for now.  I'm not sure if water and gas can mix, they both operate at totally different timings and one would snuff out the other, unless you mean I should warm up the engine with gasoline. Woo boy, lots of stuff to figure here.  Bear with me, I'm still trying to think stuff through.  Are you gonna try this out too?  That would be cool.

I have a 4.0 jeep engine that I would love to try it on. Being that my budget it very tight right now. It will have to wait.

And Yes I would get that engine up to operating temp. THat should help heat the water.

What year car it that.

It looks like a chevy from the vid. 258maybe?
