My winter project!

[Mk3alan]

No not Cavalier related!
Said to myself that when I retired and had a bit of time available through the winter months I would construct a model gas engine. This is the type of open crank gas engine used in smaller companies to power flat belt machinery and generators. Bought the castings/materials last year and have been steadily machining the parts. Only parts I didn't make are the skew gears for camshaft, piston rings and lubricators. 1 1/2 bore and 2 inch stroke.
Still not quite finished but up and running, I'm planning on it driving a small generator, quite pleased with how it's come out.
Boys and their toys!

Excellent "boy's toy".
It reminds me of the stuff my dad used to 'play' with back in the 70's.

I am sure he had a little engine powered with parafin or meths.

There is something about watching these little machines running.

Thanks for sharing your video.
