Hi Dave, PM sent Regards, Andrew Smth

Hi Ron, I like your idea, very interested in your idea. Count me in. Regards, Andrew Smith

I'll be there for the 2 days, be good to put a face to the "locals" on here. Book the flights & accommodation next week. Regards, Andrew

cool, that suggests all coils are on contators are ok. 3 volts dc is strange, but looking at wiring diagram this is only for led/bulb lights. What about contactors, line in and line out open and closed? Regards, Andrew

Ooops, re my previous post...... power on to your lathe when checking voltages of F! & F2, must proof read my posts before I submit them :rolleyes: Regards, Andrew

Ok, lets get some basics tested, all with power off to your lathe. 1) Check the voltages on outputs of F! & F2 and record what they are. 2) Check continuity of K1, K2 & K3 de-energised (normal position) should be no circuit between inputs & outputs, energised (contactor pushed in) should be a...

Can you take a photo so we can see what you are trying to describe. Regards, Andrew

Well, after a long absence I am back, into work tomorrow for the side plates and cylinder head, have a better camera now so pics should be better. BTW Brian, how many engines worldwide now, Regards, Adrew

Hi Brian, Glad to be back!! By the way, Tasmania is a state of Australia. Andrew

Hi Brian, Yet another fascinating build from the Rupnow stables. Andrew

Nice work Paul, beautiful metal and woodworking skills. Andrew

Hi Paul, Yes you are right, it is a bit of overkill but I just wanted them there for the final boring of the bearing bores after the individual parts are roughed out. My idea is 1mm undersize on bores, assemble base, side plates, head & bearing caps then bore the bearing bores. Haven't been on...

Hi guy, I must apologise for the lack of posts in the last few weeks, in the absence of swarf I have been modelling Brian's engine to ensure what I am thinking will be correct. In a previous post I mentioned I was going to dowel the side plates and cylinder head to the base for alignment, I am...

Brian, not making any excuses, I absolutely love the model engineering thing, have done for the last 30 odd years, I cannot believe the quality and perfection obtained in not only this build, but in every build (wish I could post this in every build). Yes, I'm a machinist, early days all manual...

Hi Gus, You are doing a great job. Andrew

Hi Paul, Bogged down at the moment!! Just finding it hard to get motivated to do anything after work, I spend all day machining parts for a living, but I will get back into it. Ordered the CDI ignition, plug and boot today. Andrew

Hi Brian, Still a bit slow in resuming this build, have been doing a bit of cad on the parts but no swarf!! Will be ordering the ignition parts today along with sparkplug and boot (same as yours and Swifty's). Think I'll just put the feet up today and catch up on all the posts. Andrew

Sweet, really nice build Swifty and well detailed, don't know how I missed this thread. Andrew

Hi again Brian, Just looked at your last video, amazing job, sounds really sweet, and looks amazing with the governor working, spurred me on to make up for lost time. Andrew

Hi Brian, Bit of time off to deal with work and family commitments, back now. Time to read your posts to see how you and everyone else is going. Andrew
