That's one of the prettiest Odds n Ends engines I've seen. Very nice work.

Sharp looking engine, and a nice paint job to boot. Did you have any issues with the paint and primer adhering to the aluminum?

 

[slick95]

Thanks CMS,

For the painting I just cleaned all the parts with MEK then used Rust-O-leum primer and color paint. Seemed to adhere fine.

Wow, great job Slick. I have a hit and miss engine not too far down on my list of projects and have now found the one I want to base it on. It looks a great design.

Thanks Nick,

The engine was a straight forward build and my first IC. The late Phil Duclos has a real talent for instruction, teaching and photo documentation and I just followed the instructions with success the first try. I recommend it.

Jeff, thanks for that and thanks for sharing your work. It definitely looks the best layout I've seen, a lot of others scare me off with complex shapes / methods etc but this looks nice.

Yours runs superbly too. Well done.

That is a fine sounding engine Jeff. Fine.
Thanks for posting that.
It's really nice.

Great sound and a terrific runner Jeff, I like the side hung fuel tank as well. I bet it makes fuel delivery a bit easier.

Excellent Jeff!! Thanks for sharing. I might have missed it in an earlier post, but what kind of ignition system are you using?

Hi Jeff
Your engine is super. Looks great and runs fantastic. Well Done.
I am working on the P. Duclos Mavrick right now that will be my first IC engine. If it comes out 1/2 as good as yours I will be elated.

Thanks for the info. I was using a motorcycle coil I have now ordered a cdi unit can't wait for it to get here. Going to set up so I can use it on my engines without having a big battery and coil I like the compactness of these units.

Thanks again!
