New engine to play with.
Gentlemen,
I found this on the Internet, after discussions with home management who stumped up half the cost as my Christmas present, it arrived this evening.
The engine is a hit and miss petrol,lighter fuel, engine 18cms long, 13cms wide and 80cms high, it comes with an ignition module, fuel tank and pipework and wiring.
I intend making a four wheeled steerable trolley for it, my first ever open crank, once up and running and I'm happy with it I see a few mods, namely a cylinder lubricator and mains and big end lubricator, apart from them its a nicely made engine.

Looks good, I have had a look at a few of these but never hit the buy it now button.
Your planning some delicate work fitting some means of lubrication, oilers?

Chris,
Dont see any issues, I have the machines and the abilities, I'm making a punch and die set at the moment which involved cutting a slot 2.3mm long x 2mm wide and 6mm deep, I held my breath for the whole hour it took and only breathed when I'd finished I now have to make the punch to similar sizes, its for a suspension spring for a clock I'm repairing for myself.

Looks great, and what's more you can have it running on the dining room table! Unlike some.

Negotiations with home management didn't stretch to that I'm afraid

Lovely piece of miniature engineering
Now all you have to find is a scale water pump for it to drive
