How's the fuel tank looking Gus?

Paul.

Hi Paul,

Taking a break. 28---30 Sept Taking the wifey boss to Malaysia for a long week end trip.

And on the 2----7 Oct.heading for Yokohama,Japan. Boss very happy.

Engine won't budge. Borrowed fuel tank from Webbie and she is not happy.

Too much distractions.

Charging the 17 AH battery for the starter. Hopefully H&M will budge tomorrow morning.

Hi Gus

The speed you built that engine at you need a rest.

You and " lady boss" should vanish off the RADAR for a few days and have some fun !

Regards Mark

Hi Brian,Paul,Cogsy and all,
Learned something yesterday and today. You can't rush preps to start the H&M.
OK.Went out to buy new Champion Z9Y. The old plugs gone bad.
Put in new plug and set Carb Jet Needle at 1/4 turn,prime carb and she went off at the very first start. This H&M ran best over the Webster.
See foto. Will post on my Facebook. Go into Augustine Teng to see video. Sorry.Have yet to succeed post on HMEM.Sorry about the wood chips. Had to nail down H&M to prevent walking all over the workbench.
After the holiday trip will do up Brian's H&M for show piece foto.
Thanks for the encouragment. And the wake up callss.:hDe:

Congratulations Gus, on getting it running. I don't have Facebook, so cannot see video.

[Cogsy]

Congrats on getting it to run Gus. I found you on Facebook but can't see a video yet. I'm off to the shed now to continue work on mine - you've inspired me for today.

Hi Paul,

You are right.Initially with Jet Needle at 1/4 turn,she ran a medium speed but on the second spin ,she ran very fast. Will have to grind needle sharper to have a good control range. The lazy way out is buy ab O.S. IC Engine Carb with throttle lever. Check compression which now very good.

Have you been able to control the engine speed. Please advise cure.

After this,the next would be read up your article on mitre gear cutting and cut the gears. Will be very entertaining. Gus will entertain with his gaffs and goofs.
Am also bringing along Ivan Law's book on Gear Cutting. To be honest, read his part on mitre gear four times and very little went into my grey matter.

Apple goes along to read HMEM.

Bye.

Gus, I'm still using the original carb with the engine in hit and miss mode, so that controls the speed well. Next IC engine that I build will have a throttled carb.

It's surprising how good the compression gets after it has run for a short while. I didn't allow for an oiler on the cylinder, just use a bit of oil in the fuel. Are you running on petrol or something else?

I read Ivan's book several times and was still confused, that's when I just barged in and made several mistakes until I figured out what he was talking about. As Brian found out, it's not that difficult after all, were here to guide you through.

Well done Gus. Congratulations on your running success.

I have been watching your posts since you bought the gear cutters for the Webster.

You have inspired many people, including me, to build an engine, most likely Brian's H & M.

Hi Paul,

Will rework the blunt Jet Needle. Looks like I have to make a Tool Post Grinder to grind jet needle.

Gus--You are another one of my heroes!!! Congratulations in a very big way. I recently did a supplementary article on cutting miter gears, using Swiftys excellent tutorial and Ivan Laws book.--I think you seen it, but if not, look at it for assistance.--Its really not difficult. I am not on face book either, so I will only be able to see your engine run on photobucket or on Youtube.--YAHOO--YAHOO---YAHOO--3 cheers for Gus!!!

 

[Swifty]

Another one comes to life Brian, that makes 3 now, I hope that it inspires the others that are making them.

Paul.

Reading mail at the Penang Airport. The Hotel WiFi was junk. Connection was very bad.
Thanks for the Congrats. Bit of work to clear up. Carb Jet Needle was hand ground which I thought I could get away. Will rework same needle to get a good range of Carb tuning.
Having KFC French Fries.:hDe: CAn't wait to get home to rework Carb and needle. Will make a Tool Post Grinder with the China Dremex Grinder.
