Procrastination....... I think, that's the word...... Putting off, the big decision. I can't keep on, blaming the cold weather. So, I did a couple of gonna do's. For a couple of weeks. Then I realised, there's probably some more to come. After some more tweaking. So, I raised the shutter opening higher, (the shadow, shows the original position), and filed the lip to a knife edge....... Lowered the rear of the wick tubes........ And...... With the appropriate flame. It worked! Then, a pal called. With a canyer just?. About a week's work........ :palm: The extra revs had convinced me. Whatever I do to the crank/ flywheel end, there will be enough power to drive it. It's time to start, on the big decision! I need to know the height of the cylinder, from the underside of the base casting. Don't have a height gauge...... But, this worked! Two squares. Held square by an engineer's clamp....... Measure the height, with vernier........ Subtracting, half cylinder o/d, gives centre height. (Some 3mm lower than present crank height)....... Work is progressing again....... :thumbup: Thanks for looking in! :beer: David D |
