That is really really awesome.
I'm sold. It's going in my (ever bulging) project book.
But with a high priority!

Hi Mr Shafter, I havent tried the OS carb, been making my own.
Thinking about a surface carb like Jan Ridder.

I've got a video of #3 running in 'my photos' someplace but not sure how to 'attach' it onto here.
I'm just not too swooft with this new-fangled computer stuff.....

Damn, I really need a job so I can buy materials and get back on mine.
What do we do now about a coil ?
Google the carb P/N there are other hobby sights that have the O/S Carb.

Jason.
I'm still waiting. ;D

Been kind of slow in progress last days. Been busy regards moving my beloved Myford to my nephew, who is a very happy guy right now. Two days after the move of the Myford lathe I was lucky to find and bought a small Enco 5CNC lathe also for my nephew. ;D. so I've been kind of busy "trading" lathes. I do this of pride and happiness because he is a good guy and I know he will take very good care of them.
Regards CS

Hi all.
Been kind of slow for some time. I have had some trouble with my back for some time, so lathe-work has been a pain.
But have managed to make the carb. for the Hoglett, borrowed drawings from a friend.
Here are some pics.

Still waiting for the ignition system (Hall sensor) to arrive from Hemmingway Kits.

Regards CS

Real nice work on the tank and petcock. Did you use a taper pin reamer for the body of the petcock?

The tankbody is from a "clock weigth" I found at the local scrapyard. End covers:0.5mm shimstock, male/female die and a 10 pound sledge hammer :big:
george: I made a taper D-bit for reaming the petcock body, works great.
dean,joe: thanks for the words. my youngest liked it so much that she put it up in the Christmastree ;D
Thanks
Crankshafter.

[Orjan72]

That petcock was just incredible!! as was the rest of your work, amazing! :bow: :bow:
Can't wait to see it run, are you putting fishtail pipes on it? ;D

Might even sneake around to your house to catch a glimpse :-X

Hi crankshafter - have you made any progress on your Hoglet? Deep into winter here in Oz, so I guess it's warming up over your way

 

[xo18thfa]

This is a very interesting project, I am watching closely. In the first post you show the crank webs and flywheels. How does the crank web assembly go in the flywheels? Press fit?

I need to get a set of these plans.

Thanks, Bob
