Thanks very much for watching and the comments. The posting is a bit deceptive, I've been working on it for some time, I've just not have time post, as I've had some weeks of drs. appts. and the like, taking up all my mornings and "extra" time. I've been working with a friend getting his custom bike fired up and broke in, thirty years collecting, three years building, and about three weeks doing the initial fixes and alterations, jetting, making things never together before, play nicely. A lot of time supervising, with constant interuptions to do something I have to do as it's ticklish. It's almost easier to do the "shake-down and break in" hours and miles myself.
By the way John, it was in watching the video of your engine which inspired me to flip the valve levers, and have the valve slide up. And Nick, you mentioned having the cam close the valve, and let the spring open the valve when the pressure rises, so I used the same concept with the slide valve as well as on the oddball. The check ball was the reason for a thick head and it makes the engine run very smoothly and rather quietly and makes the engine warm up very quickly. It runs at a steady 550 rpm after about a minute of running. I rinse the cylinder with WD-40 before starting, drying the outside, and spinning the liquid out of the cylinder, then set it down, light the burner and spin it over. I believe I can reduce the cleaning if I run it off butane instead of the alki. I just need to scale down your burner to fit the port. You've all been an inspiration to my experimenting and provide lots of food for thought. :nrocks: :beer: Cheers, Jack
