Hi Chuck :wave: (must have missed your intro? .... I'm missing a lot recently, very busy this time of year!)

That looks like fun, heavy, but fun :) (I'm figuring the scale from it's surroundings.... Flywheels about 12"ish dia?)

I too saw the bent rod, but was much more puzzled by the way the piston seems to have dissolved through the bench? :scratch:

Am I missing something here?

Is that a fold out handle for the starting ?

Anyway.... I like it! :thumbup:

Ralph.

chuck foster:
ralph you are right it is heavy but it is fun :D.

this summer marks my 30th year of playing with full size gas engines. i have had about 80 engines ranging from 1/2 hp to 12 h.p.

the flywheels are 16" in diameter and the bore and stroke are 3 1/2" x 5" and you are right about the fold out handle.

i didn't get much done tonight as we had dinner guests and for some reason they done seem to like working and eating in the shop :scratch: :scratch:

chuck :wave:

I went back and had a look. It does look a bit odd doesn't. I think it's Photoshoped. Notice almost no shadows under the piston? :ddb:

Are you telling or showing us "porkies" Chuck? :lol:

Bernd

chuck foster:
well guys the picture is just the way i took it......................what the heck is photoshop???? :scratch:

there is no shadows because i'm such a good photographer :lol: :lol: :lol: ::)

Hi gang

I believe that aermotor8 must be a good photographer like he says. When he took that picture he fired the flash in an automatic setting. His shutter speed was 1/60th of a second and his camera was a Canon Powershot SX10 IS. I don't think photoshop is quite up to those specs yet.

That piston is very decieving but if you look at it long enough it begins to make sense. :scratch: :scratch:

aermotor8, nice job on the engine to date. Nothing that a little TLC can't fix. :clap:

Cheers :beer:
