    2024 Indiana model engine show

    I made it to the show and my Mother joined me due to her interest in cars. She made her way into the car area. I had two engines with me but decided not to display. I will attend next year as an exhibitor. Thank you so much to all the folks that worked hard to put the event together! Cheers!

    Bob Shores Hercules

    You've got it. No pan gasket on my Hercules, only the teflon head gasket. I might still have some teflon sheet and I'd be happy to mail some to you, I'm right across the pond in MI.

    Cabin Fever Expo 2022 - 25th

    I had a good time at the show. I spend most of Friday walking around the show and more of Saturday at my table. I was happy to get my Howell V-Twin running albeit a bit smoky on one cylinder. I did not see much for ignition systems though. I too was looking but for multi-cylinder engines. I'm...

    why people like low speed hit and miss engine?

    I feel an engine that has the ability to run slow speaks volumes about the precision craftsmanship that went into building it. An engine, of any power source, with very little friction and precise mechanisms can run at slow speeds without stopping or stalling.

    V-twin ignition systems

    In a moment of haste and poor judgement, I connected my S/S dual spark CDI system to a 12V power supply and let the smoke out of it. I'm using it on my Howell V-Twin. Any recommendations on the best replacement? I am NOT an electrician!

    Howell V-Twin

    The aluminum parts are clear anodized. I use sand paper and a Scotch-Brite pad to remove machining marks before I sent them out to be anodized.

    Howell V-Twin

    Any advice on a 12V gasoline fuel pump for this engine would be greatly appreciated. The one I had was for nitro fuel and failed during the second run.
