Brian's Hit & Miss started (finished)

[Rolland]

I started this last week after watching his video. I have the crankcase, cylinder and piston made. The head is started just waiting for parts. I finished the crankshaft last night, the small aluminum spacer is what I used to support the con rod journal while I turned the shaft. So far everything is going good but it is a lot more work than I thought at first. I am starting on the flywheels while waiting for more material. It never seems to end I am always having to buy one more piece of material.
I do have a question, what kind of lube to you use on these air motors?

Looks like you have a pretty good start.

A few drops occasionally of just about any kind of oil will do.

Nice start on the engine.

Hey Roland---Whats up with this build???---Any more progress??? Brian

 

[Rolland]

Brian
I have got it built but still fussing with the springs to get it to run correctly. The gov works ok but it still has a couple of corrections. I will get it working just set it aside for a little while. Besides I started the beam engine while I was thinking about the hit and miss now I am involved in that one.
I will post photos on the hit and miss but have no way to video it .

 

[Rolland]

Its running finally. Its a great running engine fun to operate.
