Well I got it done. Tomorrow I will fill the radiator and give the water pump a test run. If all goes well I will finish building the second one for the blower motor.

Sorry men but there is nothing to report. I was the only one who showed up with engines. Too short a notice i guess.

There is a rumor floating around that the MDMC is going to try to organize an engine run in September at a small park in St Clare Shores around 16 and Harper. Our club will be invited as well as some of the other local metal clubs. We'll see if it works out.

Now that the other engines are running good I had time to make some new stuff. I made new carb levers and bolted them to the drums on the carb. The ball screwed into the lever but not flush like I expected. That I can fix. The socket did not pop onto the ball as far as I thought it would. That I cannot fix so I will shorten the lever up to make the adjustment. 5 minute fix, I can handle that. I also have the threaded links made to connect the throttle levers to the pivot dohickeys. I plan to make the base bracket wider so the ball wont hit the blower case. I'm only talking a .050 inch change. Not a big deal. The threaded linkage rods wont screw into the socket real far. That I expected so I cut about half of the length off that piece and it went exactly as I was hoping. The carbs are linked to the main shaft and working together so its progress.

You'll be doing the same thing soon enough Pete. Just bigger!

[stevehuckss396]

Well!, i have made the base bracket that holds the swivel gizmo. This is the thing that will turn horizontal motion into vertical motion. I have one more bracket to make and a few rods and I will have the linkage done.

Certainly a super build Steve .....just one question.......
If the o-ring is dynamic..........will it be suitable for the circumferential speed involved? ...or am I missing something  & the o-ring is static .............Derek

Love the linkages Steve! Sorry your little meeting didn't pan out though.

The o-ring is static and resides in the pump housing. The old pump had a oring seal right behind the fan pulley on the outside of the pump housing.
