Here it is, my small Chuck's Horizontal Single with added flyweight governor. At first I didn't know if it would work but a few suggestions by Chuck and Gail got it running!

Here is the video, see what you think:

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/H4KHmDs-iN4" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/H4KHmDs-iN4</a>

The engine is still in the "rough" but now that it is running pretty well I need to get rid of some tooling marks!

Looks and sounds great, Scott.   bow down bow down
I am glad you got it to submit to your desires.

Makes me want to put a governor on my 4 stroke version.  Bunch of other projects ahead of that however.

Hi Scott... first of all welcome to the group (from your intro post). From the video, I would say Phase 1 went very well and it seems it already runs beautifully!!  Its always nice when Phase 2 can be spend polishing things up rather than trying to figure out why something isn't working.  Thanks for posting the video and again, welcome to the board.

Thanks for all the great replies, I am really happy with this little engine.

I am working on some drawings for the governor portion of the engine now, which I can hopefully finish in the next few days. There are no real drawings for the rest of the engine, maybe I can get some cad/solidworks time at work in the next week and draw some up. I am kind of a novice at cad but willing to give it a shot!

The next step for the engine is a water jacket to go over the cylinder. It might as well look like a Hit & Miss right? Along with a bunch of cleaning up tooling marks, a little paint and add some shine to it. I need to figure out something for it to "run" also, I plan on adding a drive pulley.

There are some drawings and photos of my original horizontal single at this link:

This is a larger version of the engine and doesn't include Scott's governor assembly.
