I changed my belts to link belts and the problem went away. I have a Grizzly lathe 12x36, belts were from McMasters.

I found the problem, ya have to read all the instructions, I used low temp silver solder instead of silver braze so its back to the lathe to make the proper cylinder.

Bob Here are the two photos. The displacer pin is at 12:00 and the power piston is at 9:00 as viewed from the displacer piston side. I think that is what the article said, bu correct me if I am wrong.

I have completed building the engine but am having trouble getting it to run, I would appreciate any assistance you can give, I think the timing may be off but not sure. It is built to the exact dimension listed on the drawings and it turns over freely. and the timing is the 90 degrees as the...

Tim Thanks for the info sheet, helps a lot since this is my first attempt to work with graphite

Thanks doc I never thought of Amazon

I wonder if anyone would have a piece 1 inch or 3/4 diameter about 6 inches long that would be interested in selling??

Having completed my Webster I was curious if anyone was running theirs on gasoline. I am currently using Coleman lantern fuel with a few drops of Marvel Mystery Oil. If so did the timing change on gas? I use gas in my Ford engines with no problem but they use cast iron rings as opposed to the...

finally got the engines finished up and running. The Ford 1 aka "kitchen sink" and the Ford 2, altho not a Ford engine but a Leon Ridenour engine as seen at the end of his build dvd.
