Whoops! My bad...yes...Ultem. Ultram is my pain killer pills for my foot...they come in handy too though.

I use "ultram' from mcmaster...Great stuff. cheap and machines well. Made tons of plugs with it and i like it much more than corian. Comes in rods of different sizes. Try it!

WOW! Excellent build, very unique and a display of great skill especially considering the quick build time. I really enjoyed your presentation of the build too. Kept me on the edge of my seat the whole way. Any plans available? Congratulations and thanks for sharing.

Getting more interestinger.....

Personally, I like to see the flag as often as possible. Great Engine Nice work...!

Dats right Longboy! Da boy'z is waitin.....

Your killing me! I love it!

So...if the pistons are all mounted on that gear arrangement they must be then, driving the cam... but the clue was given "can a distributor drive a crankshaft" It would seem unlikely....given the camshaft would normally be smaller with a larger timing gear......wait I lost my point. something...

O.k....keep going, I'm going crazy waiting to see how the crank and timing comes together.....

your just not going fast enough.....driving me the heck crazy. Nice work though!

Interesting question ! I suppose, I mean, maybe, why not? Oh heck.....I dunno.

Cant get my head wrapped around this design....Where are you going with this? Love it1 I'll be watching....Nice work1

That's really cool! Nice work as usual.

Outstanding!

I am wondering if anyone has used "ULTEM" for their spark plug insulator? Im working on the kerzel H&M engine chose this material over Corian. it machines very well and is a little stiffer than Corian, has good insulating quality's too. I made my plug out of it and it seems to be working very...

Thanks brian! I am at about 1 deg after on ignition and it tries to run but not quite. My exhaust is WAY out according to your suggestion. about 20 deg after bdc....I'll try your way tonight after work. My first try running it was a success just eyeballing the timing. I didn't realize it had ran...

can anyone suggest best ignition timing for a Kerzel hit and miss engine. I had it....then lost it, now cant seem to get it back. Any help or suggestions welcome. Thanks

if your doing small steam engines go sherline, Its a nice machine. I have a Chinese lathe 7x10 but its nothing to be proud of...I have worked a lot on getting it tuned up but head stock alignment is still out and the tail stock doesn't lock in the same position twice. Im so tire tired of trying...

I agree with Shopshoe...I have been tapping 4-40 threads for years and rarely break a tap. Use a quality tap, Take some time and make a tap guide, Just a round cylinder with a hole thru it, such that the tap shank fits smoothly and both ends faced accurately and flat. I have one for each tap...

I had the same thought about making parts to print and all went well. The only part I had to fudge was the regulator arm...That part I found, to be a little fidgity but I was able to make it close to the print and then adjust a little here and there. It came out pretty well in the end.
