Hi Kirk, if I unterstand it right, than means hoglet somethings like this
https://alisonjoymabee.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/hoglet.jpg
We call it an "Igel".
I could imagine that you have had a little pig (Schwein) in your mind, that is called a  "Ferkel" in Germany.
Never the less, thanks for watching and the friendly words.
It is always good to know that you guys from the other side oft the pond are still watching.
Kind Regards
Achim

Interesting how badly things translate sometimes! Over here, the Harley motorcycles with v twins known as Hogs would imply one of our very large pigs, and we would think that a hoglet would be a baby pig.



The term Hoglet, as you rightly point out, refers to a baby hedgehog, a very different animal!

Maybe for us the baby pig would be a Piglet, but that is the Winnie The Pooh character:


not the baby pig

A baby wild pig is marcassin in French.  We served that at our wedding reception.   :popcorn:

Hi Chris and  Kirk, thanks for leading me into the right direction.
I got it now and do understand what Kirk means with "Schweinlet" and I also understand finaly why this modell engine is called a Hoglet.
I really didnīt know the term Hog for a Harley Davidson Bike.
So what to do with this new Information ?
I went on floor deeper in our office to meet a college who is riding a "Hog", and called him a "Schwein" rider, he was not amused.

Achim, I ride an old Hog also; maybe he thought you meant Schwinn rider; as in the bicycle. Now that would rankle me  :lolb: :

Great to see another hoglet being build.. It's on my "list" too :)
And being "H.O.G." rider too (flsts) it was to my surprise too to find out that hoglet -being a V-twin is not meant as HOG "baby" but is totally different animal instead..

Entertaining discussion indeed  :ROFL:  :ThumbsUp:

Hi everybody, thanks for watching.
Getting my copy of Fusion 360 downloaded at beginning of April, I thought it was time to improve my CAD skills by doing a real project.
The crank drive and kick starter unit was already manufactured, but all the other parts like cylinders, heads and valve train parts were still waiting for my metric conversion, so a good opportunity to do it in Fusion 360. When the first modelling and drawings were done, I got the feeling it was time to try a virtual assembly.
To do this, I have started step by step to create also the already manufactured parts in Fusion 360.
Everything  worked a treat and the next desire was born, how to make a animation.
So today we are here.

It is really fun to learn the usage of this software.
Kind Regards
Achim

Hi everybody, I have been quiet but not lazy.
Some progress at the Hoglet project.
Cylinders are made from cast iron, what a mess.
Followed by the pistons and the cylinder heads, also from cast iron, again another mess.
To keep everything in the right angle is a bit tricky, the fixture, recommended by Mr.Cox was a big help.

Kind Regards
Achim
