Good saves on those parts Chris and nobody would be any the wiser but thanks for sharing. That sounds a nice colour scheme. Nick |

I decided to paint Brunswick green with a cream flywheel. I still need to put on the cylinder cover and then mount it on a wooden board. It is coming together slowly! Paint job isn`t great but I did my best. It went on OK and I left it 48 hours to dry (tin says 6!) but it still wasn`t hard and pulled a little bit on the nuts when I screwed them on. Still, I`m really pleased with the colours...cheers Kwackers for showing me the pics of your cream flywheel. I`ve copied you there, I think it looks great!! Flywheel has inherited a bit of a wobble so I`ll take a look at that but it could be because the engine is only sitting on the board and isn`t bolted down. I don`t know but I`m really please with it, now painted and running! |

Looking good Chris! :clap: Would never have thought of cream for a flywheel! :scratch: I usually paint them any colour you like..... As long as it's red! :thumbup: David D |

Thanks David, I remember reading you were into your red flywheels! Could anyone give me any info regarding the sort of thing I should make for oilers on the crank bearings? Is it just simply a case of a "cup" with a narrow hole through to allow the oil to drain down directly? Chris |

Chris --- End quote --- Simple cup oilers will work - except the hole must be VERY narrow indeed. A 1 mm hole, and the oil vanishes like water in Sahara. 0.5 mm is about the max. thatīs somehow useful. Also, oil in a small open cup will gather dust, which will eventually block the small hole. There are plans for needle controlled glass (=plastic) cylinder oilers at least in HMEM. They have a needle that blocks the hole, except when you lift it for a second, and they have a far larger oil reservoir than a cup. A lot more work than cups, of course, and some small bits. Theyīre almost watch making scale for a small engine like 10V. But if you donīt mind the work, they are far preferable. :wave: |
