I have a complete set of Bob Washburn's Strictly I.C.'s magazines for sale. There are 84 issues and they are in very good condition. I purchased the complete set 15 years ago and they have been used only for reference. No soiled or torn pages. from being in the workshop I am asking $400.00...

I have picked up a circa1970 set of casting for Stuart #9 engine. The crankshaft is listed as cast steel. I am having difficulty getting a decent finish. I am using a cobalt tool. I am within .012" and am afraid to go much further until I can get a decent finish. My lathe is a 6"x18"...

I just almost completed the Upshire Engine serialized in the Strictly I.C. Magazine Oct/Nov 2000. Finally got it to run today. It seemed to run o.k. on a full tank, but would suddenly stop until the fuel tank was filled again (fuel drop of maybe a 1/4 inch in the tank). It seems to be...

I have a small VFD controlled 3 phase 1/4 HP motor running my lathe. I purchased a YMW26-25/4 switch from Banggood that I would like to use to provide the capability to reverse the motor. I would like to install it between the VFD and the motor. There was no wiring diagram included with the...

I need to know the relationship between the cam and the crank shaft. I purchased this kit from minicastings and the plans they sent (10 pages) do not have any information on how to time the engine. I have googled and have the specs on the opening and closing of the exhaust valve but could find...

Hi, I am mostly a lurker, but I recently finished (sans paint) Lil Brother by Paul Breisch. As I suspect, I had the same problems that most builders experience in getting a "hit & miss" engine to run. Starting with a few "pops" to a 5 second run and gradually longer runs. I thought I had all the...
