    Hi All, Came across this when looking for another engine, look good, so with all the lockdows, it went quick. Got running at just over 11,000rpm, still has more in it as it is still tight. Cheers Andrew

    Another Rupnow 1 by 1

    Bob, The Sieg lathe that I had needed the head machined to get it straight, not machined straight from the factory, as it bolts direct on the lathe bed there is no adjustment to get it parallel Cheers Andrew

    Need to replace electrical switch on my 818P Jet metal bench lathe with milling head

    Scott, That is good for an OEM switch, what you need and won't get is the internal connections(jumpers) in the switch, many have several connections on each button. Cheers Andrew

    35cc "V" Twin

    Yep, that would be the one, It is listed as being "in stock"(Global stock) so could be anywhere in the world, but I got 4 gears and two belts for the same price as one belt from them, I have ordered things from them before and it took 8 weeks to arrive, and they had it listed as being in stock...

    They have the pulleys, but don't supply a belt small enough, they start at 150mm length, need a 144.

    Hi All, For all those watching from home, work, or where-ever, apart from the engine mounts the machining is done, still waiting for the timing gears and belts to arrive from China. According to tracking they have left China, could be a while. Cheers Andrew

    35cc "V" Twin

    Hi All, Machining out the carb mount port, main problem with this inlet setup, is you have to remove at least one head to remove the inlet manifold. Cheers Andrew

    35cc "V" Twin

    It shows it rear mounted in the plans, but all the twins that I have had all have the carby facing forward, and as I won't be using the engine in a plane, it won't matter. Cheers Andrew

    35cc "V" Twin

    Hi All, Still working on manifolds, fitted retaining rings on the pipe work, had to brake out the big oxy gear, used 45% silver, less heat required, now to clean up the pipes and fit. Cheers Andrew

    35cc "V" Twin

    Hi All, And the 4 are done. Now to work out what to make the manifolds out of as trying to find the thin material that they list is a no go. I have some brass that may have to do. Cheers Andrew

    Hi All, For all those watching from home, not a lot of parts today, but a lot of setup steps for around 30sec's machining each step, got the rockers done, just need the spacers and adjusters to make Cheers Andrew
