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:

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:

I am sure John Bogs designed it specially for that lovely noise! :thumbup:
