Hi Bernd
Glad to see that you got it running. I think that "threatening it to make an ajustment with a 16 pound sledge" may have had something to do with it. :lol:

:offtopic: Glad that the rain waited till you finished the lawn but now its got a head start for next week. Thats the beauty of a nice place in the country. There is always lots to do to keep it up. I guess its the price we pay for a 2000 sq ft work shop.

I know that you are planning on posting a vid when you get the base finished so I'll be watching for it because :worthless:

cheers :beer:

Don

Way to go Bernd :thumbup:

I found mine a bit on the temperamental side when it comes to air pressure and lube

Now all we want is the base :poke:

Have fun

Stew

Divided he ad:
Sounds like you're having fun Bernd :ddb:

Now all you need to do is make that massive aluminium base...... $93 seems a bit excessive for such a small engine!
But I suppose if you want it to look different then a 41.5lb base would certainly do it!!! :lol:

As Don pointed out............. :worthless: :poke: :)

Ok, first of the ali plate is for some jig plates. I need to finish my indexing tool I started which will use the 1.2" thick olate. The other plates, 1/4" and 5/16" will be used for tooling plates for the X-2 mill and Sherline mill.

The 2.25" round bar, of which I'll only need about a 2" long piece is going to be a part for a car a guy wants made.

And I'll be posting with pics when I get ""
:lol:

Well this whole project started back in July. I'd have to say I'm working for the "Longest time it takes to build a Rocker Engine Award."

I had trouble getting the darn thing to run. Then rleete suggested I squirt with some WD-40. I'll be d@%&*, it worked like magic. I ran the engine and it got a good breaking in and to prove it I made a vid of how easy the thing runs now.
As you get to the end of the vid you'll here something like a piece of steel dropping on the table. That's the piston popping out as I try to start it again.

This is only my second attempt at making a movie with Windows Movie Maker so the quality and content isn't that great. So here's the movie. I'm hosting it on my own web site. Why? Because I have political issues with the video hosting companies. And lets leave it at that.

Rocker 1

Next will be a base to set it on. Hope it doesn't take as long as it took to get here. :lol:

The clicking noise you hear is the autofocus of the camera. Kind of anoying. I know I can turn the auto focus off but then you'll get a more blurred picture.
