Very nice build. Someone else on the forum (who will remain nameless) is building that same engine, and I am sure he will enjoy looking over your build.---Brian
Yes, Brian, he (me) is also building this engine, LOL.
Michael, congratulations on your excellent build. You are probably ahead of me in completion, but I will get there quite soon.
By the way, I am using the Jerry Howell Hall Effect ignition system, that I find to be excellent. try a SS dual coil as well.
Good luck on the running.

Welcome Michael, that's a nice looking engine and an excessively clean workshop; I hope it doesn't always look like that, it would put we lesser mortals to shame.

That looks very pretty indeed. I hope I can do half as well on the Peewee. (actually 1/2 as good x twice as large = roughy the same, on average :p)
 
Hi Mike,

Was suppose to cut cam using same method but I chickened out. The Milling method wasn't any better but after 1/2 dozen bad cams,I got good cams and the Nemett-Lynx Engine fired up and ran well.

Hi Gus
I was going to try the mill but I decided on the lathe, I'm not sure what one is the best way or easiest

Turning in the lathe takes a long time stoping and starting to rotate the cam, might be a bit quicker in the mill maybe
 
Hi Mike.
True .Was faster on the mill,turning RT/cam by 1 degree advance and feed quill by the thou. Problems appeared. RT was reworked/redone/fine tuned before first good cam appeared. Also had to DIY a DRO using M.I.C. Digital Caliper which also had to be reworked and fine tuned to move quill feed by the thou. Was a bit stressed by the unforgiving requirement by the designer--Malcom Steed. His engine really humbled me.:) The reward was the Nemett-Lynx Engine ran very well beyond my expectation.

Good that you have it running, I did see your thread, you did a good job on the build
 
Looks great! Just waiting on ignition now is it? Or are you going to build the radiator, etc before you try and start it?

I know I always aim to wait until everything is done to start it up, but I always get impatient and start it as soon as it's possible.
 
Thanks Cogsy

I still have a few things to do, I'm going to put a one way bearing on the crankshaft, just waiting for the bearing to come.
Still have to make a needle for the carby
And then the ignition, I have the parts for the ignition now
I haven't decided if I will wait until I make the radiator and fuel tank before trying to start it
 
That's a good looking engine Michael, I am following with interest.

Jim
