I think the name gives it away...750 Narley....Norton frame Harley donk Looks like a "featherbed" to me... Unless of course your talking about the Honda 450 framed Harley engined machine

The cam followers and guides were the next logical pieces to attack. The ME drawings seemed OK for the length of the units, but I made the diameters to suit the holes in the crankcase. These were straight turning and drilling/reaming jobs so no dramas were experienced. I opted out of the Lister...

Pic of the piston and pump that I "overmachined/handled"

"However the lathe and mill have been in use as I have recently made some Nipple Wrenches for the Remmy. Version 2's are coming out this week where, hopefully the lugs don't break!" I always used my fingers for :Dnipples. welcome from this expat. nasho in '68 4RAR.

OK, that works, now onto brass gears for the final assembly. These were made same way. but with way more care, some finesse with a very small oval file, and I had 3 gears that meshed well. So I thought that I would just see how well the cam timing could be made with my gears, and maybe make some...

The interesting part came next. The gear drive had to be made and installed. I programmed the gears on the waterjet to be cut from aluminum to test out the idler location. I fitted the crank gear with some loktite, then fitted the cam gear with a tight push fit and made up the idler pin. All...

So now I was at this stage. The crankcase, crank, rod, piston, cylinder liner and waterjacket were mostly done. This project, which if you have read all my dribbles, had now taken over my whole home life. The "EMMA" was just sitting scowling at me because of the loss of attention. Back in my...

I guess I made the piston and gudgeon pin next. The 1st piston was destroyed in a machining accident!! the 2nd one is in use. I made it the "old fashioned" way, just took a piece of 6061 bar stock machined it to dia. + a bit, machined the skirt recess, then took the piece to the mill and milled...

Thanks Gus, they always intrigued me too. I finished off the injector parts last night. Now to see if it works. I know it is out of sequence for the build log.

The connecting rod was a fairly simple piece. I cut it from 6061-t6 Alum. The cap was drilled and the rod was threaded 3mmx.7. I drilled and reamed the big end and the pin end. It was setup in the 4 jaw and the tapered shaft was machined.The flair from the arm into the big end was filed and...

Next on my agenda was the bearing housings. I cut them from 1" 6061 T6 Alum. I purposely made them so I could hold them in a 3 jaw for machining. The machining was a simple job, except for the fuel pump and oil pump mounts. That housing was a combination of lathe, mill, file and Dremel.

I decided that the crankshaft should be next. I redrew it to workable sizes for me, 1/2" shaft with a 9/16' crankpin dia. We had cut some 5/8" T1 (100,000psi Tensile) plate here, and there was enough left over for me to cut out a blank. I left some steps at the end to use as holding lugs and for...

All the fasteners are metric SS hex head bolts wherever possible that I purchased about 10 years ago from Fuller Metric here in Van. BC. The case was clamped down to my First mill/drill and a flycutter was used to face the base off, then it was reversed and the base was clamped down to face off...

These are the cheek plates and front cover pieces from 1/8" MS plate. The first crankcase I made had 8 bolts holding the front cover, it should only have had 4 so I remade the crankcase. The idler gear shaft was also incorrectly located, so it was easier at that point to make a new case. The new...

I must say that JasonB has been instrumental in garnering info from George and ME during this build. As you can see the base I drew is 4 7/8" exc. the 1/4" base, so it was 5 1/8" incl. the base. I used the 2" back/oil sump plate as the starting piece, then added the 2 sides, then the base. I...

The build started with my interest in this particular engine because of my knowledge of its workings gained when I was a teenager working after school for my father, in the engine reconditioning shop he managed in Nth. Queensland Aus. I helped pull a few apart and reassemble them. I was(am)...

I think it is 1/4 scale more or less. It does have the injector pump and injector, which I am about 70% of the way through. The hope is that it will run on a mixture of kerosine and ether. I hope to test the pump and injector this week/weekend.

Assembled and fitted a flywheel to the Lister. makes it easier to rotate.

This is a pic taken tonight, Tuesday Aug 6.Pardon the poor iPhone pic quality.

This is the Lister mounted in the Hercus being "run-in"
