A 20cc two cylinder model engine, WEDGE RUNNER is built on a canted forward frame base. Twin camshafts, dual carbs, belt driven rear shaft flywheel plus its cylinder angle find a way to express a hint of a parallel twin motorcycle engine as well by profile viewpoint the stance of a classic street rod..........  :thinking: .... or is it a lawn tractor?



WEDGE RUNNER was started in middle August and finished early November.








And a little video! Enjoy and thanks for keeping with my adventures on the forum! ----- Dave.

That turned out very well.

It is nice to see (and hear) it running.

Thank You for posting.

Yes and thanks! Pleased with the smooth performance. The lower center of gravity using heavier steel cross bars under the frame plus the full rubber padding glued on their underside keep WEDGE RUNNER  from dancing around on the table top somewhat better than my other twin free standing engines.
