Hi Scot I have many photo's of it in all stages , but unsure of how to put it all together ,

and a little short of time at the moment, ( as regards the wine,! it's like living near a train line ! I never really noticed it before , by the way this engine can be started by air, if required, thanks for your interest ,Tim.

[NathansBackwoods]

how do you know if its going? when it starts getting really easy to turn and makes noises.

[EWS60500]

[heathfiedler]

Hey, nice engine. What would the capacity be of an engine such as this? Cubic inches or litres? How much torque?

[timzhot]

Hi ,MM not sure ? the piston was 7 " across when taken out , I believe cc's are a

relatively new term and in the days of this lady the power was expressed as Hours power !! , that's all I can tell you , Tim.

[WizardMars]

@timzhot Thanks, keep her running true.

@timzhot Do you know the stroke?

[PATSICK]

@timzhot 22 Hp. @ 600 RPM as you state; is 191.5 lbs.-ft. of torque; this is mathematical. If you tell me what the stroke is I can tell you what the M.E.P. is; Mean Effective Pressure.

[timzhot]

Yes it was a labour of live at the time, but good therapy ,!! a great learning curb.

[chromolitho]

[timzhot]

Thanks ! the engine weighs 0.5 tons ,all the inside is enamled as nice inside as out, I have all the photoes of the restoration, befor and after , not sure yet how to put them on you tube, just a pile of rusting scrap when I found it !!

[scotty2307]

@timzhot Use Windows Movie Maker to create a slide show. Check out the video of my two cylinder Feidong for an example. You really have a great looking engine there. I like the blocky shape of the Blackstone types. Do you know what is making all the gear whine? Is it just the timing gears?

[angamoos]
