Not yet Ray. Doing the spring clean up thing. I'm getting some work done on the house and other stuff Tony

Hi Ray, Planning to get in the shop tomorrow. I was also thinking of making a step to stop the drive washer and key it with a 1/16 pin Tony

Ray, I think I'm going to use a tapered pin reamer for the front. 5/0 looks about right. I really don't want to deal with the 7-1/2 deg hole in the thrust washer! Good luck with your next try Tony

tombstone Thanks, I've been trying to get to the shop. But things where a little buzzy Tony

Hi gbritnell , EN16T is for the the crank on the Whitttle, I would suspect 4140/4142 or in that neighborhood. Tony Good to be back.....no pun indented Noting wrong with chrome moneel 4130 either

Thanks All for the many well wishs The back is much better. I'm going to give it another week, I have to take the 6" RT off the mill. I think putting that beast on took care of the back! Hi tombstone, I've been watching. Looks like your really progressing on it. I'm going to have to work 24/7...

Let me intice you :big: I added the DRO and now I can't live without it Tony

A fine bead blast will erase all of the solder. Tony

kel, I have a 10 x 22 Griz. I can't help with the reversing. Have you looked at the Griz site and the on line manual? Parts manual? If you need me to look at something for you....just give a yell and I'll try to help (just as long as you don't ask me to take it apart :big:). Tony

Very Nice Brian, I'm waiting on the vid too! You kept the receipts? You never keep receipts in a hobby You don't want to know :big: You know that you can move that carb arm to any position you want. Loosen screw and move. You will have to hit the low or high stops then it will rotate Tony

Many years ago we used propane from a tank the same as the one on your BBQ to fuel model jet engines. We had a special hose for the occasion. Oh, and by the way the tank is a lefty thread Tony

Thanks Jake, I won't be posting for awhile. Doc said take it easy on the back. Things got worse and worse. So I'm on med's but it will take a while for it to kick in. Tombstone I'm sure will be posting to keep us interested This getting old stuff is for the birds! I still think like I'm 21 Tony

"Chips are chips and turning is turning." I learned how to turn on my dads lathe when I was 10 Nothing like turning wood sometimes. Never know when you need a set of nested bubinga bowls. Enjoy Tony

Hi Jim, I have no seats on my Coles H&M and no plans to put them in the Whittle, There's just a 45deg face cut into the Alum. Your right these engines will never see any work and not run for hours on end. On the radial the seat and guide are all one piece put in from the chamber then a special...
