| tom osselton:
looks and runs good, I haven't looked into these type of engine yet but it is on the list. |

Thanks Tom! :beer: When you get to the appropriate part of the list, be careful. These things can drive you to distraction......... :scratch: David D |

Ya know David, I like the noisy part of that engine. Gives it some character (well, more character). Nice job, it looks factory! Eric |
| Stilldrillin:
Thanks Eric. I've left a couple of borderline loose pivots. Just to add character....... :smart: Made some more progress. A new left hand, half shaft. The original had been filed, enthusiastically. Brass spacers, to position the crank throws. Washers between moving parts. And four, healthier looking nuts & washers, to hold the assembly together........ A new, better fitting replacement piston. To replace the undersize replacement(?) piston...... Opening out the cooling fins, for the larger o/d hot cap. Hoping I don't finish up with a set of washers........ That fits, nicely......... The engine is now finished. Just needing a new base board. I found this redundant Maiwald base. Should be able to plug the holes, and tidy it....... Not too long, now...... :) Thanks for looking in! :thumbup: David D |
