Yea...it works! Very nice looking and a good runner. :bow:





























And you beat me to it. :mad:
 
Good job nice engine!
Good feeling seeing it run for the first time isn't it?
 
That's just capital, Vic! I really like the way it runs at a calm, steady tickover!
That's the kind I could watch for as long as you wanted to run it.
Your plan for a wooden base will really finish it off.

Congratulations. Top job!

Great result Vic.

The engine isn't meant to go any faster than that, just a steady rhythmic beat that I could, and do, watch for hours.

If your meths was too old, it wouldn't even run, so I personally wouldn't worry about it.

Super engine.


Bogs

 
Very well done indeed Vic :bow:
Congratulations on an engine that is both beautiful and runs magnificently !!

Regards, Arnold
 
Nice looking engine and great runner. I think your heavy flywheel really adds to the smoothness of the engine.
 

Congratulations Vic!

Great job, looks and sounds great.
 
Well done Vic! ;D Great to see another of these beasts running, as Bogs has mentioned before, there must be many under the bench!

Mine kept stopping on the old meths so I got some industrial meths and it was much better with that.

Great to watch

:bow:
 
Hi Nick, thanks. Yes, I'm trying to get hold of something better than the purple stuff. I'm sure it would run better on cleaner fuel.

Vic.
 
That's a smashing engine you've built there Vic, I really love the sound it makes.

Nick
