Hopefully a movie soon if I can get a hold of a decent camera. It's been great working with you guys and I can't wait to see the rest running! Thm: th_wav

We have another running runner!!

I put everything together today. I remember hearing that the piston and valve rod needed to be 90 degrees out of phase so I set the flywheels. I stuck the air gun into the hole where the fitting would go and it took right off!

I was thinking about cutting some spokes into the flywheels and fancying it up a little. Well I'm not going to do that. I'm going to leave it the way it is. Everything fit together real well and I want people to see it the way it was built.

Thanks to the other builders. This was a cool experience. If another team build comes up, you guy's just starting out would be crazy not to take advantage of it. For a few hours in the shop and 15 bucks worth of material, I have another treasure for the table at NAMES.

I just scanned the thread and the only 2 who have not reported a running engine are Brass_Machine and Tin Falcon.

Have one or both of you assembled your engines? Would be cool to get 100% on this thing.
 
Hiya Steve,

Not yet. Got busy really quickly. I will try to piece it together tomorrow.

things have been crazy at work . A small company and one of the techs just left for another job. So extra duties for me. and my helper son. Last weekend was a road trip to a museum grand opening left the house around 5 am Sat and back around midnight on Sunday . Hope plan on getting the engine together soon. At least by the spring steam up at kinzer Mid may.
