It looks really great. When all is done,you have to make a movie with & without the blower for looking how the perfomance change.
Is that possible??

I could run them side by side i guess. I already have one running on the carb.

I have started on the linkage for the carbs. 2 small brackets, a shaft, and a couple of retainers to maintain position of the rod. This rod will rotate to open and close the carbs.

When you cad this stuff up it's real easy to loose track of just how small the parts can get. On the computer you can just zoom in a little more. Cant do that in the garage.

Especially as the eyes get older. :)
McMaster has rod ends down to 6-32 size. Sometimes I keep one on the desk and import the cad file from them to check sizings. Still, there has been plenty of parts I have drawn and end up saying "how the heck am I supposed to hold that to cut it"?
That blower is looking sweet!
 
Dubro model airplane stuff at those sizes. I am deathly afraid of taps that small.
 
Tried just motoring the blower yet?

If you mean, did I remove the gear and chuck the shaft in a drill motor and let'er rip, well that would be childish don't you think?

Of course i did! I didn't do it for very long and never tried to plug the bottom because I was getting some touching of the lobes. I still need to figure out a way to get the rotors indexed but of course I have a plan. Haven't had much time this week. Getting ready to show at the Maker Faire this weekend.
