The finish is awesome, and the case is a nice touch, well done! :bow:

WOW!! that slow idle is amazing. very nice! Kurt

To the vids! In the first you will notice the crank throws are at 90 degrees. In the second the throws are at 0, both on the same power stroke, it's a little harder to keep running at slow speeds when set at zero, heavier flywheels would help. The flywheel spokes become visible at slow speeds...

Hi Dave, Thank you for the kind words, I am happy you like it! it was a fun and challenging build. It would have been closer to your design if I had the correct materials. You are welcomed to use the photos and videos as you wish, I would be honored if you added it to your website. Stay tuned...

Thanks Dennis! This is my second engine with zero experience in machining, I don't know if something will work until i try it, to attempt to capture in pictures would be a waste of film batteries :big: I drilled the end of the steel rod, parted off a slice, very much like Firebird (Rich) did in...

Thanks rick! I don't know if Dave would like what i've done with it ::) Thanks phil! Yes, video soon. :big:

Thanks Maryak! I'm afraid the techniques are nothing special, shake n shoot gloss black and a stiff brush for the base and shake n shoot textured flat black for the cyls right out of the can. :-[ Kurt

Not siamese anymore but still twins. A very bashed version from Dave Goodfellow's plans. The flywheels where made last April along with most of the engine, was able to finnish it over the holidays. The cylinders are 1" aluminum bar, 1.75 long with brass lining. The base is 1/4 plate made to...

Just took apart an old Realistic "walkman" type cassette player, had two black square drive belts .035, the smallest I have found so far. :o Kurt

Now that is slick! well done. :bow:

Great project! sounds like it runs well. The kick start is slick. My avatar pic is a Lauson air cooled, 1929-1934, I just finished the mechanical and need to paint it. Great to see yours run. Kurt

Thanks for all the replies that contained usefull info :bow: To the others (you know who you are) thanks for the soda out the nose! :big: Kurt

Most of the equipment I have can be run on 110v or 220v, in a home shop environment what are the advantages/disadvantages? For example, the air compressor runs alot develops 5hp :big: runs @ 2hp ::) motor output is 2.25kw (per lable on motor) Kurt P.S. Been away from HMEM since about May...

Great video and great engines, I like the sound of the coke bottle engine, would like to see more when you get unpacked. Thanks for sharing those wonderful engines. Kurt

What a beautiful engine! and very well displayed indeed!
