Stephens knuckle head build

driller1432 · Nov 26, 2017

Draw Tech knuckle head project completed hello to all, finally found some time to complete engine. I had to remake cam with more lift and duration and degreed each lobe individually .Then the carb where I couldnt find any thing to get the float to work so I lowered fuel tank and feed fuel into bottom of carb bowl fill tank to desired level and it runs for several minutes just fine until I feel it gets hot enough to shut down.

Link to video of one of the first runs. I donT have rocket covers on or distributer cover so you can see rotor spinning notice second cylinder starts hitting near the end Ill get more video of completed engine running its so cool to get it running and Jack from Draw-Tech the fellow who designed this engine has to be pleased to see it done and yes he has plans available.

Driller 1432--be warned!! It'll take over your life if you let it. I built my first engine 7 years ago. I just finished my 24th engine this week.---Brian

That is the best thing I have seen in years. You did such a great job on the motor, as I said you now own the serial # of 001.We have to hook up so we can document changes credited to you.I have some ideas on the float.
Again WELL DONE
One of these day,s maybe I'll get enough time to build #2

Thanks to everybody for the compliments. And Jack thank you for the plans you are a extremely talented designer! I like the mix of brass and aluminum really looks awesome.

Hey Steve
That video is awesome, maybe we can come up with a couple of megaphones for the exhaust. What are you going to build next? I,m thinking of starting a new design of a 1929 Harley 45. I have a pretty good blueprint, that I should be able to scale. Not sure if I want Quarter, Half, or a Third scale.
