  tuther way round this end

[Stilldrillin]

Well..... I'm still here Chaps!

Isn't it amazing, how life gets in the way of progress! 

I fitted the compound slide to my little lathe, and extended the outer taper, at 2.5*.

Then bored the inner taper, at 2* to give a slightly thicker wall, at the head end........




Made a disk, to suit the cylinder head pattern. Recessed to suit the tube.

Silver soldered in place. Tidily. Using Jo's dip n dab method.......




Milled a 10mm slot, and assembled........




And. It's working even better, now.......

Can anyone tell, what I'm muttering about? It seemed quite relevant at the time!

The engine's in pieces now. Being smartened up.
I don't do polished n shiny. But it will look a whole lot better when next you see it. 

Thanks for dropping in!

Nice one David,

Don't worry from what I can make out of your mutterings you didn't need to use any magic words to get it running 

Jo

[ths]

Nice going Mr Drillin', a lovely runner. Is there a clue to your muttering in the magazine in the vid?

That Frazer is certainly multi-lingual!

Cheers, Hugh.

[Stilldrillin]

Frazer.

Thanks! (I think). 

The eyebrow has made quite a difference to revs and efficiency.

Another? Ah, yes! Seem to attract orphans, don't I! 


Jo.

I still can't tell what I was on about! Must be me age........ 


Hugh.

Thanks! A clue? I doubt it. That's a weekly tv mag. Dated, March, this year........ 

Frazer, multi-lingual? Well ar! All I can offer, is...... He has had far more years of hot air frustration, than I have!

[Stilldrillin]

As I'd got the engine running better, it was time to sort the other niggles.......

I wanted the flywheel, on the other side. So, needed to reverse the crank assy.

Shutter arm sleevelocked. All in line........




Cross pinned.........




Eased, here n there. Just to make sure, there was room to swing an arm.......




Varnished, painted, polished. Bearings tightened. I still didn't like the tractor exhaust........




So, I made a pepper pot muffler. It quacks, now!

Adjusting the screw, alters the pitch........




Alloy pulley. To cover the spare shaft........
