Duclos Gearless

(1/3) > >>

cwelkie:
Even though quietly reading the mail in the background I am still getting some time in the shop.  I've always admired the designs of Phil Duclos and in particular the vertical gearless.  Here is my version.  Guess I'll need to decide if it gets some paint now that it actually runs.

This was a particularly good build for me i.e., no 'spare' parts  ;)  It runs pretty well now that I've found the sweet spot for the needle valve.  It is very sensitive and I was going through center at the speed of light when trying to adjust it in the beginning.

Hopefully the video link works ... never done that before!

Cheers
