Thank you.

Main engine assembled and timing and valve clearance set, need to find a spring for the governor balls. Will search through my spring box. As it is, I found a spring for another part and ping it went off on it’s travels never to return, luckily I found another to replace it with.

Working on a Fuel ordered while waiting for that I can work on the wiring and getting the fuel tank fitted, and a top made as well as an exhaust that will look the part all set up ready to machine that.

I seem to be a little behind on posting progress.

I have been working on a lot of small bits and pieces, as well as a small side project.

First the side project which is complete, I needed some clamps so made these two.


Then the ignition wiring except for an on/off switch which has arrived this morning

All the machine work completed, the only thing left is to run it when the fuel pipe arrives.

I managed to find a display case and now it has a home, the wife thought it would be better so it does not collect dust.

The display case comes flat packed along with some cotton gloves to assemble it as well as a cloth for cleaning it with when needed. There is also a string of coloured LED lights but I have not put these in.

Lovely looking engine, who made the display case? It might come in useful to members of the model club I am in l.

Looking forward to seeing the finished article running!
