Even though it will spend most of it's life on the shelf where I can look at it, I would still like to hear it run... Chuck |

Hmmm, the cylinders appear to have a quite small diameter and the effective surface area of the pistons is further reduced by the cross section of the central bar so I think this would be a 'high pressure' engine. I am sure you will get it running. :thumbup: |

Thanks, John. The cylinder bore is 3/4" and the central rod is 3/8". I did get the engine running! Here's a short video... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFW1I0_33XM Still got some air leaks to fix but I know where they are and how to fix them. Also gotta build the base. Chuck |
