Parcell and Weed Vertical Air Cooled Engine
« on: February 26, 2023, 09:03:42 PM »
This is the vertical air cooled version. The castings came from Little Locos. The kit and plans are excellent! It has been a 3 year project.

I still have to tidy up the wiring and do some more fine tuning on the hit and miss mechanism - but it works!

 Enjoy!

Here is the engine cleaned up and ready for the shows!
This was the most challenging of my engine builds to date.
it has a lot of very small parts (especially in the hit and miss mechanism).
A lot of fiddling and adjustments were needed to get it to run properly.
Now on to the next project!
