Chatterbox / Timing a steam engine
« Last post by Art K on Today at 04:13:43 AM »
Not being one who has done anything with steam. I acquired one based on a Hasbrouck number 3 mill engine. The problem I was trying to sort out was the fact that when I tightened down the crosshead guide it seized up. I also added graphite rope to the packing gland. After all this I couldn't get it to run. Do I have to much pressure on the packing gland or is it simple like timing. And if so how is it timed?

Thanks Bent!

The crankshaft replacement surgery has been completed successfully, and the patient is back up and running. New 3-bearing crank, new center bearing, and four new conrods.
