Well now I can say this engine is what I call finished - Painted, Mounted and Running.

With the replacement governor latch made and a few tweaks to the ignitor it runs as well painted as it did in bare metal. It does sound a bit wheezy with quite a lot of induction noise probably due to it being happiest with the choke plate covering about 2/3rds of the carb inlet. Colour also looks better in the video.

If you can't see the video below try this link to Youtube

Thanks Jason,

Thanks for the you-tube link

That's a sweet engine. Next time I get tired of my multi cylinder monsters, I would like to have a go at one.

Look great, I like models that have a bit of muscle :-)

Just as a matter of interest, I can't see the video direct from the posting either.

The vid is ok here on my iPad

Got to agree with Jo girly green .

It does have a strange sound , but it may be what the engine should sound like

My aim is for a accurate part with a good finish

Excellent, I like the quiet chuffing sound.

St Patrick's day .... maybe it's Leprechaun green   ??

For some reason it reminds me of being a nipper on a local farm. There was a mangold chopper/shredder for winter cattle feed made a noise somewhat like that ...  :headscratch:

Nothing like producing a good runner Jason - and once again you've certainly done that  :ThumbsUp: :ThumbsUp:

I have to confess though, as one with an ear finely tuned to the sound of a diesel  ;) that's rather a strange wheezing   :D

Seriously - Lovely result  ;)
