Great job on this one. Looks great and runs better than it looks. Can't wait to see it painted next year. Thanks for the great video and pics!

"This engine qualifies for my rule of only collecting what I can carry."


Once heard an old man in a garage say while his large but 62 year old son sat nearby nodding agreement...
"Started building these things when he refused to help me take the full size to the shows"


Like the engine!

Thanks1 It's amazing the skills you can learn from youtube videos! Now if i could just learn to paint, all my engines wouldn't remain as bare metal castings!

Interesting that it uses the four columns between the base and the piston.  Very nice Doug.

[attachimg=1][attachimg=2][attachimg=3][attachimg=4]As promised, the varnish dried, and I finished this engine this morning, and am now ready to move on to my Parsell and Weed project.  Getting all of the ignition circuit into that tiny box was quite a challenge, but it does all fit.  I will probably never use water, as I don't think that these small engines really need it.  But, it is plumbed up to work, if necessary.  I won't paint this engine until I've run it at shows over the summer.  Then, a tear-down and paint job will be applied next winter, in time for the Cabin Fever Show.  This engine qualifies for my rule of only collecting what I can carry.  But after telling my wife how heavy it was when finished, I was surprised to find out that it only weighed 35 pounds!  i guess that is a sign of old age.  Here is a link of it running a few days ago on the test bench, before it was mounted to the base:
