Lovely engine Tony Thm:

And darn, builds like yours are starting to make me itch to build an IC engine!

very nice looking engine tony :bow:

if you want to slow the engine down you will have to use weaker springs on the governor weights.

hope this helps.

Well this is it for this engine......I'm done. Picked up the placard this afternoon and just got it mounted. I have to take the girlfriend out to dinner. She got wind of the next engine. "How many engines do you need" She said.
I stopped short of "how many shoes do you need". Rof} :hDe:

Never ever clean up the shop, as long as it's dirty and full of tools laying around.... your still working on something. Maybe I'll get down the shop latter *club*

Tony,
The plane in my avatar is a US Army RC-12X (the latest recon plane). I've been flying in the army for 26 years and counting...too much fun.
Thanks for asking...

Slick,
AH-1G Cobra's was my ship in 1971. Know what you mean. Lots "O" fun
Tony

Cobra,

Cool aircraft the AH-1 is . I always wanted to fly them, but it was CH-47's. Good to meet a fellow army aviator and machinist...

Keep us updated on the H/M engine. BTW my first H/M is the Odds N' Ends by Phil Duclos which is close to finished...

Hi Tony - If you had said that to your girlfriend you might still be in the EMERGENCY RECOVERY ROOM! - Billmc

Bill Mc,
I did come up with a great idea. I'm going to keep a eye on the shoes she doesn't wear, then I'll put them on ebay and get castings money :big:

Hi Tony - I'll be looking for the pair of spiked heels with the blood on them. - Billmc
