    Gone for a while

    Glad you had a nice vacation, but now you have my curiosity up. What is required by law that you have to carry on a trip? Also you have to supply your own breathalyzers? I don't indulge personally, but talk about adding insult to injury, making you supply something they are going to bust you...

    Any interest in a high end casting kit??

    Thanks for all of the comments. To try and touch on a few spots, Ed T I'm thinking 8 to 10" flywheels, I don't want it to small, but I would like to be able to load it myself to take to shows. I've had hit and miss engines all of my life, sold the last one a couple years back, when I hurt my...

    Up in flames....no pun intended.

    I'm in the automotive business and the most disturbing MSDS was for airbags. It seems the solid rocket fuel inside, that is made by Morton-Thiekol ,<-SP? , (yes the same people that got blamed for blowing up the space shuttle) has been "known to cause mutations in animals". Somehow I never got a...

    What do you do while the turkey bakes?

    Well I decided to do a little cooking of my own. Much to my wife's dismay I'm boiling my connecting rod in her coffee pot full of alum.:eek: Broke a #50 drill bit in it.:mad: So it's off to the base, laying it out to mill the mains and fit the main caps.

    Rent a Bridgeport

    I was shopping craigslist and found this the other day while looking for a lathe or mill. http://houston.craigslist.org/tld/3378898171.html The thought of it has opened up many horizons for me and my 3n1 that has been holding me back. While the 3n1 has a large swing it is choked by the table...

    Understanding the flywheel governor

    To much tension on the weights will cause this, try lighter or longer springs. It's a very touchy adjustment even on a full size engine. I had to go to 1 spring on a 1 1/2 hp emerson brantingham to get it to cycle right.

    Understanding the flywheel governor

    Two reasons, if the intake was help open, the compression would be going out of the carb, and the possibilty of a backfire causing a real fire. While coasting with the exhaust valve held open, the intake doesn't work as it is atmospheric, and there is no suction on the backstroke to open the...

    Gloves: blue nitrile, safe?

    As a professional mechanic I can tell you that they do tear easy, BUT they also grab and like to get wound up, with amazing strength when using impacts, and air ratchets. I'm new to this hobby, but I would not wear them around my machine.
