hello all I have been away from this site for awhile got tied up restoring some engines but I am back to model engine building again. If your new here you can see last winters project by searching atkinson cycle engine supersize.
I have started building a model of a engine built by Economic Motor Co. about 1883 it is a non compression engine of the Lenoir type. All I have to go by is 3 pictures and a 15 minute conversation with a guy on the phone that has built 2 of these. I am going to need your help when I get to the fuel system.
ok here we go, I Had a 18 inch flywheel that was a raw casting I turned it true and bored it out to 1.250. The base is built up from 18 inch pipe and flat bar, lots of welding and grinding. Tom T
