I was wondering what you were on about, then the penny dropped, a good:- "got ya" John. :)

It was a Toyota Estate and I ran the engine with one of those little tyre inflater things you plug into your fag lighter:- (thats cigaret lighter for you guys across the pond).

:update:

Well got it all assembled and running again its run like a little sewing machine for at least eight hours.

Finished off the governor and got it hooked up to a drive belt, bin using one of those long springs john gave me but it keeps coming apart in the end I tried a spot of supper glue on the joint how do you guys join them up.

Thought I'd try a nicker elastic drive and asked my boss to donate some, all she said was you'll have to let me take them off first, that caused a sweat I though my birthday had arrived early. :D

Johns making me a hardwood base, so here's a few shot on the test bed.

The governor is sort of working the shaft from the butterfly valve is catching the frame and sticking so I've to cut that back a bit and try again also I think the return spring is too strong, so a bit of experimenting is required.

And here's a few beauty shots

I'll post some more pics when I get the posh hardwood base and a video of it running.

Stew,

For joining the spring belt, you bend out a tiny half loop hook at each end from one of the spirals and just link them together. If it is a standard Mamod type, one end should be tapered down so that it screws into the other larger end.

Due to appointments, your base is due to be machined some time this weekend. But to cut the flywheel slot, you will have to bring the engine round for me to play with first and measure it up.
