What is this machine?

Looks like a home made CNC router.

I will follow your progress on this build with interest. Many people have built this engine, but not many have been able to get it to run. Good Luck.----Brian

Hi Stef and welcome to HMEM. Very high standard of workmanship and great photos too. Looking forward to your progress.

Thats a great looking engine so far. Look forward to seeing it completed. Welcome to HMEM.

Thanks for the compliments, yes indeed that is a home build cnc router. Great machine for making this simple but nice looking parts.
This evening i made begin on the crankshaft, here is picture off all the parts so far.

Very nice work. This engine is next on my list. I am getting the materials together and I hope to start machining soon. I will be following this thread. Keep up the great work!

time for small update, not much done since last time but here it is:
i received the CDI and a spark plug last week. Also made the linking rod between cylinder and crankshaft. And today i made the mounting plate for all the components.

What a very enjoyable build thread.

 

[stef110]

Today finished the flywheel, normally it is made out of one piece but, i did not have enough material for that. So I made it out of two pieces and screwed them to gather. Also made the fuel tank.
Things left to do:

- air adjust wheel (throttle)
- fuel tank cap
- a disk with a magnet for the CDI
- a backed for the hall sensor

Hopefully this week a first test.

You are going fast Stef and your pictures almost make it look easy.
Every part is looking perfect.

I'm currently building this engine too as my first project and yours looks alot better then mine.

Nice to know that a fellow dutchman is working on the same project as I am,when I'm stuck I know where to go to see how its supposed to be done.

Keep posting!

I see from your new thread that you never got this engine to run. Looking at the ignition you used (the CDI) I'm wondering if you accounted for the automatic advance built into it. When I used one of those I could not get the engine to run as it was throwing a spark a long way from where it appeared to be when I set it up. Once I changed the timing it fired right up. If you still have the engine and don't know about the auto advance it's certainly worth looking into.

 

[stef110]

yes i still have the engine, maybe i can have a look at it later. someone in the past also pointed me on the CDI module might be an issue.
