alphabet soup...

id be in too.

theres a lot more work in the myfordboy engine. its very nice tho

yes, this is with the JH demand regulator. I wonder if I need some sort of more accurate needle control valve.

I'm a month or more later. I've tidied up everything, electrics, fixed some compression woes and built a water pump for cooling. mostly just procrastinating the inevitable, ie, starting it. the main issue I believe now is probably gas flow, I have no real control over how much. someone mentioned...

good to see another one. I built one a few years ago, really nice runner and reverser.

did you get that set of ebay? with the chipped cooling fin? if so i apologise for running it up.

OK>.. so dumb blonde mistake there, girl. there's a lil rubber seat that's supposed to go inside the needle seat body and that fixes everything. oops.

ok, I'm about 90% into Jerry H's demand valve. there are some design issues that don't work. I hope I have the right needle and seat. I machined it all and put it together, then realised the needle sits way too high, to the point that when I sit the diaphragm on, then the valve is pushed in and...

it popped up on my subscription earlier..

scan the drawings or get them scanned, get them touched up, and bung them on the internet with a 10 dollar download fee. build a steam engine for the compressor.

might take some time to digest that

I have a new printer, so I printed this to see how it looks on the bench. not sure if I'm planning my next project or not yet, but its very doable.

Jason, do you have any more info on this engine?

and yes i think the 800 was hit and miss.
