52 forum posts 18 photos | EVRA 190 Hi everybody, I've inherited the above engine from my brother but have no notes on its operation. Can anyone let me have a copy of theirs? Naturally I will bear all reasonable costs. Particular Q's, what fuel mix? what prop size? any tips? All help appreciated, thanks.

| 3055 forum posts | i have actually had copies of the instrcutions for several enya engines sent to me from the importers, steve webb models, they used to do a very good cheap overhaul service as well, cleaning the engines and the internals, and offering any bits that where wanted at a resonable price |

52 forum posts 18 photos | Engine Doctor, that wasn't a typo, the name IS ENVA, it's a 190 (1.9 cu.in.) from U.S.A. ser. 219 with Walbro carb 639-78 K8. Someone told me it's very similar to, or developed from, a Ryobi engine. I've been out of touch with model aeronautica for a long time. Did ENVA become Enya, is there any connection at all? I'll try SWM as you and Alan Cantwell suggest. Should get some answers there. Thanks fellas. |

52 forum posts 18 photos | To alan Cantwell and Engine Doctor. What a clot I am ! There was a typo, but not the one you thought. The engine name is actually EVRA and NOT Enva. Sorry for the confusion, it must be the excitement of aeromodelling again. Does this make a difference to your inputs ? |

Moderator 4966 forum posts 168 photos | Kenking, I've changed your thread title to EVRA in the hope of attracting someone who knows about these engines.....good luck!! |

52 forum posts 18 photos | Steve, thanks a lot. I'll be more careful in future. As a matter of fact there are two of these engines currently for sale on eBay, USA, apparently Hobby Lobby handled them. My biggest wish is for a copy of the operating instructions. Here's hoping. |
| Alan Cantwell | 16/06/2012 18:56:21 |
| 3055 forum posts | so, is the ebay link i put on, and probably going to get shouted at for doing, the engine you have? |
| kenking | 16/06/2012 23:07:36 |
52 forum posts 18 photos | Hi Alan, yes it is. When I started googling the name( the correct one, that is) I found an American who is selling one and who shows a five minute video of it 'running good'. I came across it at 00:30 am and of course the volume was turned right up, so it got my wife's attention alright. You could find it I'm sure. My old eMac is being very temperamental, and I'm not really computer literate so can't give a neat link to it, sorry. Hope you don't get into trouble, I saw the warnings from Mods earlier today. |

52 forum posts 18 photos | Sorry, meant to say earlier that I contacted Steve Webb Models, and they'd heard of it but that's all. |

| 3055 forum posts | searched on every web site i know for obsolete instructions, nothing, i would treat it as a standard petrol motor, and run it at 40/1, you will need a petrol bung for your fuel tank, and tygone tubing for the petrol lines |

647 forum posts 4 photos | All becomes clear Grasshopper ! It looks a heavy old lump from the pictures on the web . I haven't seen one of those in many years. As alan says 40:1 mix should be fine . I have a old Quadra ,similar in construction and that runs fine on 40:1. Not very powerful but It starts if you give it a hard stare!!

1064 forum posts 4 photos | So what's the prize?
Say 20:1 oil mix and 18-22" props. By all accounts a tricky one to start unless you use a starter motor or a rope around the front pulley which tends to wack you on the bonce when you pull it hard. |

1064 forum posts 4 photos | Found it here BTW |
| kenking | 18/06/2012 12:06:45 |
52 forum posts 18 photos | Well thanks Ben B, but how can I contact Flying Rhino To ask for a copy of the bumph? Forgive me asking, if it's obvious, but I'm new to this game; I don't even know what BTW stands for. Please enlighten. |

Well if you know the oil ratio and the recommended prop the rest is (relatively) easy. Most of the carbs are pretty similar. I doubt you need the specific manual for that engine for the rest. You need to work out how you are supposed to choke the carb but that's about it. Certainly on all the gas engines I've tinkered with you close the choke, flip it until it runs (and stops due to being rich), then open the choke and get it running again. The carbs usually have two needles, a low end needles and a high end needle. Their functions are pretty obvious |

1064 forum posts 4 photos | The one that Flying Rhino was selling was from ages ago. If you desperately want a copy of the instructions you could offer to pay someone selling one off Ebay to scan and send them to you e.g. they've obviously got a digital camera so they could always take a high res photo of the instructions if they haven't got a scanner. |
