another Snow engine

[Roger B]

Hi Achim, yet another step completed    I don't know if I have missed something in the thread but where does the ignition distributor come from?

We now have around 30cm of snow and it's still falling.

Cool Achim and bet your glad to get that out the way.

Hi Don, yes I am very happy  that this test was successful. I have sent a lot of money to the states for this ignition system and I am very satisfied with what I have got.

Hi Roger, this afternoon I went Into the cellar to fetch my electrical little snow blower. It is his time now, we also getting more snow and the temperature is going down to minus 13° C.
The CDI system, including the distributor is from the states.

Still waiting for the delivery of 10 mm silver steel for the crank pin. So some other work has to be done.
First thing was to increase the baseplate and to give the rotating flywheel a kind of protection.
Next job, the pulley for the water pump. If bought a suitable belt some week ago.
One picture shows the powder coated pulley at its final position already.
The very last picture is from the lump of aluminium, which I have squared last night. This should be the water pump housing later.

Thanks Tony, but  I am far away from your stage of the Snow build.

Hi everybody and a Happy New Year.
Some progress with the parts for the water pump. The housing is nearly finished (with its functional dimensions) and the impeller is also nearly finished.
Here arwe some pictures of the progress.
I have tried first time a "furnace soft soldering process" in my discounter oven, with success, using normal plumber soldering paste.
Any kind of questions are welcome.
I will put all pictures in line into several postings.

Happy new year Achim.

Good idea of using the oven and solder paste for the impeller.  I have to remember that.

That turned out great Achim!  What kind of clearance is there between the impeller and the wall of the pump cavity?

That came out great Achim and I will file that one away for later. I seen you seal, which I persume was the green object and can I ask where you found it? As the pump is just a volume pump I don't thing the impeller clearance has to be that good.

Very nice, Achim. I like the soldering in the oven!

Nice work Achim.  Your impeller pump is looking very good.  Can't wait to see it work

Hi Bill, the axial clearens of the pump should be made by the impeller against the bronze bush in the pump body, adjusted by the later fitted pulley. If the impeller is in the requiered position, a small piece of paper, clamped between the impeller and the body could not be moved. So my estimation is, the gap is then less 1/10 mm. On the other side, I have marked the impeller with a blue Edding and turned around (picture impeller 4.0) and no cratches are visible.
So I must be at the right point.
