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!

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:

Lovely little engine and very nicely finished.
Really good videos. Show how much better it runs compared to the beginning.
Top work :)

Another one nicely ressurected David. Amazing the difference it has made to the running. Top Marks to the man again  :clap: :clap:

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:
