Dean...there are a few more details before that happens but its definitaly closer thanit was.

Zee...I haven't forgotten about taking a new family pic of all the parts so far. Maybe I will get to that tomorrow.

engineer, kvom and steve...thanks to you all for taking a look. The weekend was rather busy with my granddaughter's first birthday and taking care of that pesky green stuff which surrounds the house, but should get back to a few more details today. There is some additional work on the top of the crankcase that needs to be done to more closely resemble the original and I pondered that some this weekend and then had to transfer those thoughts to the drawing. Hopefully though there will be some pictures this afternoon.

Thanks again for your interest in this project!!

Some more detail work was accomplished on the head this week. The pictures should be pretty self explabatory i think, and it more closely resembles the actual cylinder to crankcase contact area of the original.

In the immortal words of Randy Savage.....OOOOOOOOOOH YEAAAAAA!

;D

 
Just keeps on looking better Bill :bow: :bow:

Kind regards, Arnold
 
Thanks steamer and Arnold. A weel or more back Zee had asked for a new "family" shot of all the parts which are shown below. Actually this represents virtually all of the components and/or sub-assemblies so its mostly a matter now of finishing up the crankcase and moving on to final fitting and assembly.

Beautiful. Thanks for the shot. That is awesome work and it's always good to see everything at a glance that goes into it.
 


Beautiful!! :bow: :bow:

Can almost hear it run. :D

Looks awsome!

Like the scale starting handle and cord, nice touch!

What are you going to use for ignition?
 
Ahhh, I remember the day when there was only one part to show us! What an accomplishment.

Thanks guys...more than anything I admire your patience for hanging in there with me over what has been a loooong time i know. As to the scale starting handle and cord...the length of the cord will have to be reduced at some point as its obviously way to long now. Guess that may depend on how easily it starts though or if that is even the best way to start it.

The ignition system will be the one from S/S Machine & Engineering. The box on the wooden base will house the electronics, batteries, etc. and the hall sensor and magnet will be mounted on the plate and back of the flywheel respectively. Will likely order that this week so its headed this way.

WOW !! Feels like I just started watching your build a few weeks ago ! It's been 1-1/2 years in the making :bow: :bow:
