My first IC engine. A fat-flywheel Webster engine with a Fellows carb. Milled the gears myself using a homemade gear hob.

I also like the fat flywheel.
You have a very nice running Webster, for sure.
Thank You for posting.

Thanks everyone. Nothing else in the works yet, maybe spend some time with the wife if she still recognizes me.
Nice engine Ross. I too have a fat flywheeled Webster, and that fat flywheel lets it idle down to a very low speed. Very good job.---Brian

Nice work Ross. Runs great and v. low vibration. Also love the box.
That is one chunk of flywheel! You can really hear that engine working to move it. What does it weigh?

Flywheel weighs about 7 pounds. It was made from an offcut from the steel yard. I don't have a power hacksaw so I figured I'd just leave it at that size. Had to pull all sorts of tricks to fit it on my little lathe.
