Oh wow Bruce… that’s some great news! I’d love to have a drill start adapter too, it’s just like the one we saw in a Stirlingkit video. Also cool that they have 6 bolt holes as opposed to the 2 they are using in the pic haha!
It’s just like the one way bearing / clutch that’s used on my Cison V2 engines, they use a hardened steel shaft that inserts in the 1 way clutch bearing, then when the engine starts, it’s allowed to free turn counterclockwise with the engine running
My flywheel was easy to remove; a 10mm socket removes the bolt, and a gentle tap with a small plastic mallet will free it for
from the shaft. Yes sir, the crankshaft is a tapered, keyless shaft.
By the way… my whippet hit 6 hours run time today! Continues to run better and better, w’ lower idle rpm when I’m trying to get it to run as slow as possible.
I’m going to check it with my digital tachometer on the next run
