I have decdided that I am going to make my partners Grandfather a motor for his birthday which just happens to be on christmas day. I never give him a xmas present but he always gets a birthday present. I have decided on a Poppin engine because it is easy to run, just needs metho. Also decided I was going to make two of them just incase I kill one in the process or if all goes well I will have one to keep.
Had some suitable hunks of aluminium lying around that needed cleaning to size
Does not take much longer to make two. Reaming the pivot hole. Some things are being changed to metric to suit tooling.
Drilled some holes where required. There is a bit of an error which I didn't pick up because I am using a different size bearing and did not make allowance for it but I can save it with some clever shaping when finishing the standard.
This is how they sit at the moment. They are quite small these engines.
More shed time tomorrow
