If you can do that with a router and string I'd like to see it.
C'mon Mart.... That takes two strings and an angle grinder. Can someone show me the cubic inch displacement of my stationary engine? One cylinder, 6" bore, 12" stroke.

Yeah. I'll walk you through it.

bore * bore * pi /4 *stroke*no of cylinders

6*6 = 36
36* 3.1416 = 113.0976

113.0976/4 = 28.2744

28.2744 *12 =

339.2928 * 1 = 339.2928

So your single cylinder motor is 339.3 cu in.

Thank you very much Mart! The brass tag on it states that it produces 8 hp at 300 rpm. I run it at 75 rpm.

Hit n Miss I did a lot of tuning to get it this slow. It was given to me because it was stuck and the head was missing so I freed it and made a wood pattern for the head and had it cast. In 1989.

The big stover is mine and I have a 3hp as well as some old air cooled stuff. I sold the gas powered maytag washer. About 5 of us set up in that area every year for the last 34 years at Lynden Wa, in August. I feel smarter now that I understand that formula. Thanks

In your case: 6 X 6 X 12 X .7854 = 339.2928
