Thanks CC, Chuck,Darren,Stew. I said it was "completed", not quite true, still have to make control valve and oiler yet. Darren, guilty as charged, throwing myself on the mercy of the group. :bow: :bow: My only defense is it takes time away from the shop. But I will try to post pics in the future. I started on these in March and this one is the only one that is built up yet. Have all the parts machined for the other ones to this point. After I finish the control valve and oiler I will start assembling the other ones. Bogs really has a great design here, only took me about 3 hrs fiddling around to get it running steady. First try all the loose screws showed up in a hurry :hammer: :hammer: :hammer: Had to put things back together and re time. Gives you quite a rush when they run don't it? Feel like I'm ten feet tall and bullet proof. :) :) :) :) :nrocks: :nrocks: :nrocks: :nrocks: :nrocks: Ron |

Good for you!!! |

You really kept that one quiet Ron, but at least, seeing as you didn't ask for help, I suppose the 'book' did it's job. It would be nice to know if you have little or a lot of experience in making engines, because as you know, I designed this for someone with maybe one or two small engines under their belt. Even after all these years, I get a buzz and a grin when even the simplest little engine I build takes its first movement towards life. It is a thing that keeps you going and gets you hooked even further. I have yet to see a web built one of these engines complete with the control valve. I am wondering if I should have gone with an easier to build, but less efficient type. It seems everyone gets to your stage, then calls it a day. I must congratulate you on getting a good runner. :clap: :clap: :clap: :ddb: :ddb: :ddb: Bogs |
