Thanks for the links. Good question. I just want it to run well, with durability not being a significant factor, but some durability is desired.

Thanks Vietti and Sprocket, but I am trying to stick with material I have on hand, and I have lots of time. Another thought. I do have 12L14 in 1" diameter round bar that might be used as a liner for a steel cylinder, if that is a good idea? EDIT: The 12L14 I have won't work, it is just under...

I have asked preliminary questions in other threads about my Webster build (my 1st I.C. engine). Now that I have completed the framework (see photos below), I am ready to start the cylinder. I am trying to build this engine with materials I have on hand. I understand that the plans call for...

Thanks. Yes, intend to make my own out of C93200 Bearing Bronze.

I am now at the stage of the Crankshaft holes in the side frame and support parts. The plans call for a 1/2" reamed hole. I don't have a 1/2" reamer. I intend to use bronze bearings in for the crankshaft holes. Asking if a 1/2" end mill could be substituted for a reamer. Actually, I am having...

I may just have a 9mm drill. Thanks.

Thanks. Have the tap; but need the S drill.

Thanks for listing the part numbers. I looked them up, and yes the price is reasonable.

Good thread, and very much related to what I am looking for in thread I started yesterday, an inexpensive ignition system for a Weber.

That is certainly an attractive price. I looked at Ebay USA, and found this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/115293748599 Is this similar to yours? What I would need in addition is a spark plug, and 6v worth of batteries; is that correct? Thank you for the link to your other post. I did not come up...

Gorgeous engine.

Is that the same as the one I linked at Amazon? What else would I need to complete the system?

In a previous thread, I asked about which first i.c. engine I should attempt to build. I settled on the Webster. I also stated I would have questions, and would start another thread. Well, I started to build the Webster, and have only gotten as far as the base plate with holes completed except...

I guess my biggest issue is that electronic part is foreign to me. Yes, I have changed points and condenser on my first vehicle (1975 VW Super Beetle), and adjusted timing, but, I never developed an understanding of how it all works. I guess if I see the systems on You Tube, and how they are...

Looks like the ignition systems are a little pricey. Are there much less expensive systems available?

Well, I have decided on the Webster. But, I have a questions on the ignition systems. Can someone please explain to me what I need for the ignition system and the sources for the parts? Thank you all for participating in this thread.

I know it will run fine for many. But, I just can't get it figured out :confused:.

I guess I should clarify what I meant by longevity, Steamchick. I appreciate the example you provided. It gives me a basis upon which to attempt to clarify. Yes, I would want an engine that will run well after many uses, unlike the engine in the example you provided.

Not concerned about longevity of the engine. Just want it to run well.

Looks like cast iron is used on the cylinders of most of the engines listed above. Is there a good substitute for cast iron?
