No way. Has to be a pull start with a rope that won't go back in half the time.

That's how I remember it stevenhucks.
I have made a prototype side cover. There are a few things that I am not happy with but the Gcode has been updated and I should be able to make 2 nice ones tomorrow.
I don't know. If I do then I would be on the hook for the entire engine and I don't even have the drawings done let alone a running prototype.

Sounds like you need to take a vacation so you can get some work done.

Hi Steve:
I just found this thread. Man that's Amazing work as usual.
I have a simple question. What cutting fluid are you hand spraying on the milling machine?
Oh, and don't they have labor laws in "The Motor City"? 28 straight days can't be legal.

Some progress today!
I started with a piece of 1/4 inch plate and machined the back side so that when the part is complete the back would have a nice finish for paint.
Into the vise with the good side down the inside is machined out and the mounting holes drilled.
I call it a fixture but it's just flat stock with 2 holes drilled and tapped. The part is bolted to it for machining.
The outside profile is then cut
On the same piece of material a second fixture is made. 2 holes and a pocket to clear the piece so the rear can be accessed.
Then some small cuts are made to fonish the back.
Still needs a few details but it's 95% done.

I use WD-40 for lube when machining
The law here is make it while you can. Next year may not be so good.

You have done a great job on the crankcase and frame and removed so much metal to hollow out.
Exterior and interior finish was very good. Doubt I could do same. Grew up and old with Briggs&Stratton Engines.
Was my job to fit on B&S Gas Engine drive on Ingersoll-Rand Type-30 Air Compressors as a young graduate engineer.
Contemplating in building the smallest B&S Engine to satisfy my crave.

Managed to squeeze this in before rebuilding the bath tub faucet and painting 3 bedrooms. The original engine had a magneto triggered by a magnet on the flywheel. I am going to go with the CDI board. The bracket in the photo will hold the hall sensor and give me a little bit of adjustment.

Hi Steve:
Sorry to look past the wonderful work you've done on the engine hall sensor mount BUT, what do I see in the background. A wonderful antique car. I'll bet that's fun to drive.
You must have a big shop. Two vehicles end to end, well lit.....
Beautiful work.

Yeah. I added a few feet to the existing garage. I had five in for the winter and four all year round. The 29 is tucked away but she does get out three or four times a year.
