I am glad to see the weather broke long enough to get the video in Bob. It starts and runs great!! You are going to have a blast showing that one off. Now as to the weather I am afraid there may be more heading your way this week from the tropical storm/hurricane moving up from the gulf. Maybe it's time to stay inside and start a new project :)

Great one Bob!

At one point in the video, I could hear it run, see the valve going...but the flywheels were so true I couldn't tell they were spinning. Nice!

Thank you everyone.  I am very happy with this engine build.  I learned a lot and ventured into "uncharted waters".  There were a lot of firsts with this one which yielded a deeper a sense of accomplishment.

Carl- Untrue flywheels a a pet peeve of mine.  I try hard to have mine run true.

Thanks Roger.


I have to say, I love running this thing.  I ran a full tank of gas non stop through it today which yielded close to a half an hour continuous run time.  It just purred along and I sat there starring it with a big dumb smile on my face.
