Bruce, I love the creativity and attention to every detail that went into this setup...very, very nice!

thanks Roger, I strive to get everything "just right" and good detail is what I think sets things apart from the Norm, I probably spend hrs on each engine adjusting this way ….or that way, & when you put ball bearings in the axle mounts there is a lot of adjusting to be done, the mounts never needed to be very straight originally for a simple axle to go through a drilled out hole , but when you add a bearing with a collar it must be as close to parallel as possible, which entails a lot of micro adjusting to run true & freely, the Generator by far benefits from bearings being installed , but as Jensen found out  ...its a lot of tedious adjusting & they discontinued it for that reason (by there own admission)
