Way to go, Bob! I'm getting excited for you.

This has been a very interesting and informative build.

I am really looking forward to seeing it run. Great work and from what I have seen it should be a great runner. Good progress with your 'adjustments' as well. Fingers crossed.

As an old aeromodeler, I have raced diesel engines in team race ,I am finding your build VERY interesting and cant wait to see the final result.

Great work and thanks for sharing.

Mike and Seagar,

Thanks Guys for your support.

000 progress today. It was contract signing day for our new home. A visit to the builders is always an excuse for SWMBO to spend some time in the city. That's what we did.

Best Regards
Bob

Bob, glad to hear you have 'er almost ready! It certainly looks great!! :bow: :bow: :bow: And a big thanks for taking us along the journey!!

So, are you going to run and then bling it? Or vice versa? Personally, I don't think you bling on this one! It has the attitude, "I am an engine. Don't like it? Deal with it!"

Personally, I don't think you bling on this one! It has the attitude, "I am an engine. Don't like it? Deal with it!"

That gets my vote, just fire the Bad Boy up ;D

W/E and CC,

Thanks for your continued support and your informed comments about bling. :bow: :bow:

It is advise I most gratefully accept :bow:

Next week it's on with the carburretor and a whole new world of small accurate drilling.

Best Regards
Bob

Congratulations on signing for your new house. Does this mean a new workshop? Exciting or what.....

 

[Maryak]

Mike,

No new workshop, I may move my existing one to my daughters place which is closer than its current location relative to our new home.

Thanks for your continued interest and support.

Best Regards
Bob

Hi Guys,

A start was made on the carburettor which I decided to try and make from solid rather than silver solder the two parts together, so on with the show

A piece of 3/4" brass.

Threading the end for the cylinder connection.

A test fit.

Form tool for the divergent nozzle.

The inlet side of the carburettor.

Grinding the form tool for the convergent/inlet side.

The body ready for transfer to the mill.

Tomorrow should see this part finished, (I hope). : :

Best Regards
Bob

 

[Philjoe5]

Nice work Bob. Thanks for the update. The inlet side looks like a mild taper. Did the special toolbit you made allow you to make this taper more directly? ???

Cheers,
Phil

 

[Maryak]

Phil,

No - the outside of the inlet was formed using the compound slide. The form tools were for the insides on both sides of the centre boss.

Clear as mud

Thanks for your continued interest and support.

Best Regards
Bob

 

[Maryak]

Well,

Things went OK but progress was slower than anticipated due to unforeseen domestic duties encroaching on my play time

Here's what I did manage to achieve.

The set up to mill the flats on the centre boss.

Milling the flats.

The completed flats milled.

Cross drilling the centre boss

Set up in the lathe for cutting the 1st external thread.

And there endeth todays effort.

 

[Philjoe5]

Bob,
Let me be the first to say....your pictures are crystal clear. I'm anxious to see this completed carby ;D

Cheers,
Phil

 

[ksouers]
