Post by: Hero on November 05, 2020, 06:35:33 pm: Congratulations on your sale! Those are pretty big engines as models go.

I have a set of castings for one, but I'm afraid to start on them because I'm not a very good machinist (though I try). I should probably sell them, but I keep hoping that my skills will improve.

Can't say as I realized what a 5A went for.

Link doesn't seem to work.

Works here... Could it be that it’s US only?

eBay item number: 124413077618

Now that the listing has ended the link works fine. Hm.

Fingers crossed that there are no troubles with the buyer or shipping

I really have no idea what I'm doing.
I'm very familiar with buying on Ebay but selling is something I'm not very good at.

Post by: Nu2modlin on October 29, 2020, 09:43:15 am: I am new to youtube and ebay. I tried to add these pics but was not able to figure it out.

That's weird. The flywheel didn't wobble before I removed it to polish it and get the surface rust off.. The crank shaft is not bent. I must have done something wrong.
I left a cap too loose too, I can hear it clancking. I'll fix it.
