Ed, as you know I did build one of your engines, and I did get it to run, for a short while. I ended up bending the conrod, as you were probably expecting, due to my use of an electric starter. However, I have just finished making a new rod, and mixed up some new fuel, and it now starts easily...

ED, I'd like to say I am interested, but it is too small for me! My sausages/fingers are having a hard time manipulating small things these days. Pat(Holly Buddy builder)

Do you make your own fuel? I have a couple of diesels and would like to make this one. Pat

No, after 3 attempts at getting an injector to work, I have just put it aside for another day.

I too am following this..with great interest

A little help from a son in law. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I removed as many items as is easily removed.

Here is my basement workshop. You can see the lathe on the RH side.

I just bought a BusyBee CX706 10X22. It appears to be very good.

Congratulations Brian, another very good build.

This is what the crankcase looks like with some of the small parts fitted.

Gus,I can't say for sure how many rpm, but it was slow, about 100 maybe. The lathe has a variable speed, so I adjusted for best cut, least noise!!

Gus, you have better skills than I, and I am the gent he says is machining it for him ;) Shown is a flywheel in a Mini Lathe.(175 x 200)

Brian, why did you set the rotary table to 300? I am needing to make some new cams also for the Lister and its sister. Also what increments ,in degrees, did you use?

Your descriptive texts are inspiring Brian. Any article by you or George B. gets my immediate attention.

Sorry I haven't been around for a while, but I sold my house and moved about 60 miles closer to the daughters and grandkids. I sold my lathe and milling machine, and am going to replace them with 2 new machines. I have to pick them up in the next week and get them installed and running. BusyBee...

Nice build. Where did you get your castings? or did you make them yourself?

This is the new , new pump. It has a .125" bore, and the stroke is adjustable.

Check with your local(if any!) aircraft repair shop. "Alodine" is what you want to prep alum. with. You will not need much, just wipe some on the alum, wash off with acetone, prime and paint. I am a lover of mahogany boats. Yours looks great. The engine is also impressive, I will be checking...

Been working on pump and injector and new head. I think the steel head will be a big help. The pump put out 50psi(3.5 bar) tonight, a long way off the 50 bar that was suggested as maybe being required.
