Hi Michael,
Gus watching and picking up good ideas. Plan to attempt making the Howell V-4 2016 and radiator making is unavoidable. Meanwhile I am still bashing at the two outerheads which seem to have so many details to work on. Not dreading it but trying to enjoy it.

Made some more progress on the radiator todayView attachment ImageUploadedByModel Engines1426064507.274814.jpgView attachment ImageUploadedByModel Engines1426064528.066769.jpg
Decided to make a tool so it's easy to find TDCView attachment ImageUploadedByModel Engines1426065476.928627.jpgView attachment ImageUploadedByModel Engines1426065511.875162.jpgView attachment ImageUploadedByModel Engines1426065535.068106.jpgView attachment ImageUploadedByModel Engines1426065562.069769.jpg
Bottom tank soldered, now for top tank and then clean up and polishView attachment ImageUploadedByModel Engines1426336441.422380.jpg
Radiator is complete, need to test for leaks and make a mount for it.
Radiator mounts made, just needs clean up an polish, then bolt them to baseView attachment ImageUploadedByModel Engines1426596215.565685.jpgView attachment ImageUploadedByModel Engines1426596232.715856.jpgView attachment ImageUploadedByModel Engines1426596257.044163.jpg
Clear cover complete, I think the only thing left is a couple of alterations to the carby ( new needle and many spray bar) then try and get it to run, it has fired but does not keep running I know the needle in the carb is not quite right, anyway keep plugging away

Your cover is a good idea - I may steal it! Fingers crossed for an easy start for you. Not long to go now, looking forward to the video.

Please make two covers. Will steal # 2 cover.
Great Show Piece.

Engine ran for a few seconds, sorry for the bad quality of the video.
I have a problem with the hall effect sensors burning out, have gone through 3 sensors so far, that is why the engine stopped in the video.
I can't seem to pin point the problem, my earth seems to be ok.

Sounds fantastic - really throaty. Congrats on getting it to run.
Can't help with the sensor (I've run into issues with them myself that I haven't solved) but I can help with the video code so it embeds.

No worries Michael, it's far easier than I made it sound . Just copy and paste the address in your post and it will embed itself. The mistake you made, which is very common, was to post the address you got as the uploader. That type of link won't embed. You need the address with "youtube" in it without the dot ('youtu.be' doesn't work). Click on your link and watch what the actual address eventually changes to - that's the one you need to post.

With regard to the sensors, I thought some body fixed that problem years ago, I think it was something to do with the kickback from the High voltage breakdown, if memory serves here, I think it was solved with a protection diode in the system some where but at the time was not so well and can't remember properly.
