RichardW1 428 Posted September 23, 2013 Jerry, I agree no oscars (RMW's limit on file size), but I am happy with the running. I did consider a fly wheel, but it made things worse. I need t find a way to true a flywheel on the motor shaft. Richard Link to comment
-missy- 3,834 Posted September 23, 2013 Hello Richard. I am too looking forward to seeing the layout as I have never seen it. It doesnt look like the engine needs any more work to me either (apart from some weathering maybe?). I would be very happy with that. How come you cant get a flywheel to run true if its machined on a lathe? I would have thought if its machined all in one then it would be fine? Maybe some sort of jig like what tyre people use will help? Missy Link to comment
RichardW1 428 Posted September 23, 2013 The flywheel was machined as a solid piece! The problem is my awful Chinese lathe - tail stock is not quite accurate enough - i am looking at a new lathe for my birthday I am looking for your email to send you a longer clip Thanks for the comments Richard Link to comment
