2 cylinder flame licker

[Woodster]

I found a drop of very light oil on the piston skirt helps to maintain the seal around the piston and keeps my flame eaters running well., especially when they've warmed up a bit. Can get a bit messy though.

As I lean the carburettor off a bit, the engine speeds up, but is a bit harder to start.

I've had a bit of time to think about the engine and plan what to do next with it. There is a slight taper in the bores, but I compensated for this by making the pistons and valves to suit, I now plan to lap out both bores until they are spot on parallel and both the same size. I will then make new pistons and valves, it may not help the running, but I won't know until I do it.

All my time lately has been taken up with selling my mothers house and clearing it out after she had moved to aged care, but this is nearly finished so I will have some spare time again to work on the engine.
