Yes, the smaller i get, the unforgivable happens. In my mind i want to make a very small, realible petrol injected engine...i thought i spend less time because they are small, and use much less material on it. I was wrong, i spend double the time and wasted a lot more material on screwups...

Found it....finally with some bit of help. I think i have an antique here...with some modifications over time. http://www.lathes.co.uk/karger/page7.html

Hello...recently i just bought this old vintage lathe. I did some work on it so it can be used safely and i will take more care of it. I didn't find any usefull info on the internet about this lathe...i dont know if its bad or its that antique. If you can help me with more information, i...

Hello again guys, i'm back with a "new" old lathe that i reconditioned how i could. It's not very great but it does the job with a bit of care. I want to make an Inline 2 4-stroke low compression engine, crank at 315 degrees, with mechanical injectors and water cooled (if possible, ill try)...

Very nice indeed sir, the gears are well finished and cut. I will follow this to the end, your work is beautifull. Keep the pic comming. :D

Some insulating tape and some red and black spray paint, looks like :hDe: but its nicer than before. ;D

Thank you Cogsy for your reply, i hope it starts too or else my work is :fan: :D (hours and hours of sweat, anyways the schematics i made in layout 3 didnt match the real thing, i couldnt be precise with hacksaw and files, so i had to recalculate everytime depending of what dimensions were the...

The last set of pictures, i didnt make an exhaust, but i think i will because it is needed in 2 stroke. Sry, i dont know what happened but i scrambled them...i wanted to be in order but...i hope you "like" it for now. I will post a video if it starts, i only cranked it with my drill to see if it...

Second set of pictures

Hello again guys, i had a post last year about a mini engine i wanted to build but i didnt have a lathe and i quited fast...neither today i dont own one. But i decided to start with hacksaw, files and other manual tools to build a 2 cc engine from what can i find in my garage 2 months ago. The...

Today i made a test with a round file to a round steel bar (15mm), i set the point to 5 mm in middle and in 15 minutes it was a mirracle, immagine 30 minutes on it (more calmly than i did now for testing)...was impressed myself, didnt know i can do that, exactly 5 mm and no rough edges right in...

Well...interesting post Wizard69. You made my moral go higher. Thing is i made a list on my mind and i can do it with no lathe : drill press,bench grinder, vice, saw, grinder, small biax with all accessories, files, taps and dies, drills, mills, i have them all, whats missing is a simple lathe...

i have a stupid question that i will ask because in theory is simple but...practice is killing spree over a period. :o Can i do my crankshaft on this, i thought 'bout it last night? Dont ask me why i ask this because you have the answer in previous post. :hDe: I know the lathe but dont have one...

Thank you very much. I was thinking of a dynamo from a flashlight...1,3 volts output, with a custom ignition coil would be roughly 3000 in a spark...the gap will be under 1 mm. I wish this was simple...but the formulas are not the problem. Like you said "Even with wire sizes down in the AWG 46...

noone? :wall: 1 more question...whats the best insulator for sparkplugs.

Hi, im new to this forum i read it and congrats on your work, all of you. Im a mecatronist, i want for a long time to build a 3.1 cc I4 engine, water cooled, oil pump, oil filter...etc (after i buy a lathe of course cuz now im low on cash :(, hope this winter). The main issue i got on my schemes...
