Mutter mutter fr.. reversing gear.
This is my first attempt at making reversing gear and a twin at that.
All does not go well due to not a lot of room only one eccentric has a bolt to hold to crank shaft .
The other eccentric is pinned to its mate .
60 degrees it says to give  a 120 offset .
Either my 60 “ are out or my maths or direction sucks .
I will have to make some more eccentrics and time them one at a time then pin together when running
I am still waiting for some bolts to arrive so it all may go on a rest for a while,.
Good news is last night i had it running on 10 psi of steam .
I suppose this is  what happens when you try to punch above your weight .

Cheers
