Does anyone have a set of plans for a rope making machine? I saw a guy using one up in Vermont at an engine show...its a planetary gear setup...he had an old cast iron one. Please and thank you.

Yes, the engines are still for sale. :thumbup:

Been fooling around with different carbs. I tried a few little things because of time and impatience but nothing kept the engine running. We switched the ignition timer to the opposite side of the flywheel so now the counterweight is the timer, hitting a brass strip every revolution...

Still for sale! Make me an offer and they could be yours...

You find a young guy like me who loves model engineering and wants to maintain and cherish old engines and tooling for years to come (for the next 35 to 40 years) if I'm lucky. I'm 38 years old and LOVE engines and old tools. A friend of mine 60+ retired from the hobby and sold me all of...

Thank you very much ShopShoe...it is the college seal...attached is a picture.

So here are a few of our pictures from yesterday. We ran the rings in again but this time much longer and at a higher speed. It helped a lot and the engine seems to run a lot stronger as of today. I advanced the timing a bit more which also may have helped. We ran the engine on squirts of...

I've made 6 valves this week...all different sizes. I have been cutting the seats using brand new 90-degree chamfering bits...and have had good luck sealing them. My problem was cutting the angle on the valve using the lathe. My compound was not exactly at 45-degrees...so I used an indicator and...

No worries...all great questions and all great dialog between people who love this hobby. I have always loved drafting (my students are taking a CAD final exam as I type this). I was given the original Quad plans from a good friend who purchased the plans directly from George DeAngelis. Part...

https://youtu.be/F9EPf8SJc2Q Here is a link to an amazing 1937 video explaining how a differential works. My students ask me all the time how the Quadricycle differential works. Please watch this video...it is great!!!
