"Just wanted to ask, with the brake setup you designed for the Rider Ericcson, did it put any unwanted i.e damaging stress on the engine in your opinion?"
good question Jim, since I haven't run it since I built it...I don't know? every engine is built for a purpose, to power something. most "toy" engines aren't overbuilt for serious work, but to have a engine over revving freely & running wild can also be detrimental to an engine. it would probably be best to control the speed by limiting the fuel, but with these engines that is particularly difficult to do. If I remember correctly, you went about this in a different way, choke up the pump as I recall? how did your engine hold up?
cheers, Bruce
