Hi Borna, Check Ace Hardware for Coleman fuel. Regards Gary,

I have built 3 gearsguy's ignition systems with used Ford coils,all have performed perfectly. Watch the way the transistor is labeled, some have the letters in different positions. I use a 9 volt rechargable battery and a 9 volt portable phone charger to maintain battery voltage. If the points...

Hi Carl, My DRO scales can be removed & turned around, Then they will read opposite. Gary

Hi Darren, I built a stirling 60 about 6 months ago. It's a little tricky to get it running on a tee light candle. I had trouble getting the displacer shaft & bushing operating smoothly. I changed the power piston to graphite. From my experience reducing friction is the trick. I'd be...

Hi Brian I would check at your local watch repair shop. Pocket watch crystals come in many different sizes. They won't be 1/16 thick but will be plenty strong enough for that application. Thanks for your time and energy you spend on your posts, it's appreciated by many of us...

Hi Chuck, Just wanted to drop in and let you know how much I appreciate the the time you take to share your builds with us. You better be careful, as much as your wife liked that crankshaft, she's liable to take that hole engine.:)...

Hi Jason, This engine is going to be beautiful, More pictures please. Regards Gary

Hi Borno I agree with Edt about the 240 belt being to long, Your cam & crank pulleys are rather small dia. so the distance between the belts dosent allow much adjustment. Useing all flanged pulleys is a good idea but it will be nessacary to install belt and pulleys at the same time. My...

hi Borna. I came up with 16.98in. long, 208 teeth, you'll need extra length for tenstioner. What did you come up with? Regards Gary

Hi Rick, Super hot and humid in Southwest Florida, Hope we all get a break soon. Gary

Hi Simon, I've been watching your progress on this engine and it looks very nice to me. I would recheck all friction surfaces and find the stiff parts. When I do final assembly I carefully spin crankshaft after each new part is installed. That way I can usually find the problem...
