Steve, Jim. Thanks for your kind comments! Well..... I'm still here Chaps! Isn't it amazing, how life gets in the way of progress! :( Modding a handy electrical conduit widget. I fitted the compound slide to my little lathe, and extended the outer taper, at 2.5*. Then bored the inner taper, at 2* to give a slightly thicker wall, at the head end........ Made a disk, to suit the cylinder head pattern. Recessed to suit the tube. Silver soldered in place. Tidily. Using minimum flux and wire....... Milled a 10mm slot, and assembled........ And. It's working even better, now....... :D Can anyone tell, what I'm muttering about? It seemed quite relevant at the time! The engine's in pieces now. Being smartened up. I don't do polished n shiny. But it will look a whole lot better when next you see it. :thumbup: Thanks for dropping in! David D |

As I'd got the engine running better, it was time to sort the other niggles....... I wanted the flywheel, on the other side. So, needed to reverse the crank assy. Shutter arm sleevelocked. All in line........ Cross pinned......... Eased, here n there. Just to make sure, there was room to swing an arm....... Varnished, painted, polished. Bearings tightened. I still didn't like the tractor exhaust........ So, I made a pepper pot muffler. It quacks, now! Adjusting the screw, alters the pitch........ Alloy pulley. To cover the spare shaft........ Video........ All done! Don't like the burner, much. That's a job, for another day...... Or year! Thanks for watching! :thumbup: David D |

Lee, John. Thank you, for your kind comments. :thumbup: It's a good feeling, when an engine saga comes to a successful ending. Even better, if it's been appreciated....... :beer: David D |
