Hi All,
Not a resto, more a repair. A club member broke the crank pin, bent conrod and damaged the case.
Machined a new crankshaft, new conrod(twice, first one too long), and repaired the case with some J.B weld after tapping the bulge back down.
Also while it was all apart, I took measurements so I will be able to build my own. Used some white out on the plans for the Mills 1.3 and then filled in with the measurements from the 0.5 engine.
Cheers
Andrew

Admiral_dk:
Very willing to start and run  :Love:

I don't know why it stops though .... but I think that you need to increase the compression a bit to increase the RPM (after it is broken in).
