Is OSG the brand or a type of die?And what does the mixer do? Is it like a carburator?
Looks like you are all set Jim. I think the fondling is to help figure out how you are supposed to hold the suckers for machining Cletus

Something kind of Zen like. Although I guess that just figuring out how to hold them and not machine oneself into a corner is pretty "ethereal"!Jim
Hello Jim,On the idle strokes of a hit and miss engine, the intake valve remains closed and air flows in and out of the exhaust port. Ideally, no fuel is wasted. On some engines, the spark ignition is also switched off to conserve the battery.Lookin' good on the mixer body!Todd.
