It looks absolutely brilliant. A testament to your workmanship and the care you lavish on your projects. I am looking forward to seeing it run. Also looking forward to seeing the mini lathe and cutter grinder projects back underway.
Gday Ade, the engine looks absolutely beautiful, your going to have a big smile when it starts up for the first time, great job mate and can’t wait to hear it running, cheers
Ade, the construction of that starter engagement cam reminded me of a past memory. When I was just a kid, my dad showed me just how to hold the starting crank on our 1932 Cletrac crawler tractor. It was an important precaution, because there was always the possibility of a misfire causing the crankshaft to turn backwards a half-turn or so; the starting crank handle had to be able to slip from your grasp in that case. Otherwise, it would give you quite a problem. I suspect he had learned this from the Ford Model T. Knowledge like that tends to be gained the hard way!
Thanks Proff . I am nervous to fuel it up and try it . Closest a male can come to giving berth , lol. Got some fuel and Saturday is test day , Wish me luck , Cheers Ade.
Looks beautiful Ade, let’s hope it runs as nice as it looks, amazing what some people can create in a small shed with a lathe and a mill, well done. And thanks for sharing the journey.
The engine looks great. The elbow grease has certainly worked well. Regarding petrol. If you have problems using pump petrol I suggest you think about using Aspen fuel or similar. Smaller engines seem to prefer it to pump E10. I run my lawn mower on Aspen fuel and it likes it. A bit pricy but a can will last yonks.
Love the belt system instead of spur gears. Providing you end up with a 1-2 ratio does it matter how many teeth i.e 40/20 60/30 etc, I realise the diameter will change. I asked as I would like to try your system on a build.
Looks great. How are you going to store the starter shaft? Sorry I’m late with this but I’ve been pretty busy these past few weeks, so I’m catching up.
That looks very nice Ade. Lovely shine & a great wooden base too.
Regards.

Looking good Ade, she'll fire up I'm sure

Ade you need to make a plaque to cover up that ignition plague.... it makes it look like they built the engine lol
I do agree . it is a sticker I think . I have a plan to electro etch my logo on the base plate . Cheers Ade.
Looks beautiful Ade, let’s hope it runs as nice as it looks, amazing what some people can create in a small shed with a lathe and a mill, well done. And thanks for sharing the journey.
That's a work of art Ade. Have my fingers crossed that it starts first time. Hope you record that as well. Cheers Nobby

Looked at your starting mechanism, it immediately reminded me of starting the old cars with a crank handle, back in my youth days. 🙂
Excellent build Ade, enjoyed the series.
Thanks for sharing
That's a great looking engine, well done!
Wow, can’t wait to see it running. That’s a precision job Ade, you should be very proud. And thanks for taking us along for the journey.
Fingers crossed for you.
its beautiful Ade 😁👍
Great job well done, Timing needs to be set at 30 degrees BTDC.👍👍👍
Excellent Ade. Looks very nice. Can't wait to see the next video and maybe it will be running. Regards Kevin
Thanks Ade
Fingers crossed!
Thanks Ades

Looking good Ade, Its been a great journey. Whats next? I hear SpaceX are having a few minor problems. lol
I look forward to hearing it purr!
Beautiful engine, I'm sure it'll run great. Are you going to publish the drawings by any chance? I'd enjoy cladding that up.
Looks great. How are you going to store the starter shaft? Sorry I’m late with this but I’ve been pretty busy these past few weeks, so I’m catching up.
Rite Ade, Lookin forward to the purr or Banshee wail, what kind of rpm will it do? TFS, GB :)
i'm sure it'll run well so I'll show you You are looking well yourself, I guess it's living right
Well done Ade, fantastic looking engine, and the number of hours spent really shines through! Really looking forward to seeing it fire up! Cheers, Jon
