ML Midge Diesel

[steve-de24]

If anyone is wondering about the lack of progress it is because I've discovered one or more errors in the drawings I'm using. I wish I'd calculated the resultant port timing from the individual component dimensions before I'd started - I'll know next time. So the project is on hold until I can sort out how to proceed. Also not helping is that we're heading into summer and fine weather hobbies take precedence.

Very annoying to say the least 

I've been more or less the same place, when I tried to restore my old Viking 2.5cc diesel. My attempt at a new crank interfered with the bottom of the piston at BDC, so I calculated the port timing and "discovered" that the exhaust and transfer times where a lot more aggressive than the inlet time, so I just decided to remove a bit of the bottom of the piston - Wrong Move 

But I will say that wrong drawings are worse than just taking the wrong decision - I know what I did wrong, but you will have to figure out what is wrong with drawings made by someone else 

Best wishes
