I’m so sorry guys, I have been so busy with other stuff, Cogsy yes it’s running but will not respond well to the throttle, more fettling to be done, promise to get back to you soon with a video

Hi Cogsy Yes the engine itself is finished, a few finishising touches to do on the radiator. I have been trying to start it a few weeks ago, lots of noise but it wouldnt run properly, i stripped it down to bring home from work and have been so busy since I havent even unpacked it!!!

Hi all I am about to build a new workshop and fit it out with all new machinery, amazingly this is being sponsored by somweone else!! Anyway the lathe and mill will be imported from Australia to Thailand, so my question is what do I buy? Sponsor want to go with all new machines and they will...

Unbelievable!!!!

Blogwitch I find your first post very offensive. Dave

Nice work, still havent had any time on mine, got the ignition bench tested the other day distributer spun by hand and fires all four plugs, earning a living keeps interfering with progress. Great work as always you are getting close now to.

Hi Martin I received the Hoglet parts in the mail yesterday, immaculately made parts, absolutely fantastic machining, very happy, just got to finish the Peewee and I will get onto this, any idea where I can get the drawings? Thailand customs must have also been impressed with the quality, just...

Got mine today, look perfect, thanks Steve

Sent you a PM Dave

Thanks Steve, I took your advice and used a 2mm set screw for the bleed hole. As for the oil I dont think we got anything that thin on-board but I will find something, might have to use compressor oil until I get home. Im thinking your V8 will be next Steve, is it much bigger? Dave

Thank you all for your answers and time, I understand now how it works i think. It is drilled in the centre of the carb and once the throttle drum is in the idle position air passes through the bleed hole and is then admitted to the top of thr hole through the drum and then down into the carb/...

Have a Blast, its on my bucket list of places to visit. Be good to have you building again, cant wait to see your progress. Enjoy your holiday. Dave

Im so sorry for the last two pictures, the internet is so poor out here I am unable to upload better quality, I have tried two more close up photos, hopefully this will work.

hopefully a better quality picture

hi all Please help, i have nearly finished the carburettor. Hope fully you can read the drawing I have posted, i am confused about the air bleed hole. Firstly there is only one dimension .033 above the center line of the carburettor but no other dimension, I'm guessing its position is central...

Hi Steve The Demon is also on my list, can I get a set shipped to Thailand!!!!? Regards Dave

Sorry for the photo quality, poor internet will not let me upload any better quality

Some photos of my progress, all the small fittings are finished and so is the remake manifold, started on the carb today, damn its small!!! I haven't got a 1.5mm end mill which I need for the throttle stop on the carb, can i grind a 3mm one down? Does the engine oil viscosity have to scale down...

Truly beautiful, one day maybe i will have acquired the skills to attempt a radial, again absolutely lovely. Dave
