Now I wish you had the video running for that run, Neil!
Do you have any way of throttling the motor? Or once it starts it all on it own?

Yes, some more thought will need to be applied, perhaps it will need some throttling as well as fuel. It will need an exhaust
Poor little AG100.
Is it a 100cc or do we need to add the small piston displacement as well? Being that the small piston is at it's TDC when the big piston is at it's BDC I think we can ignor the little piston's displacement. Correct? Or is this a rule bender?
Its still a town, only the mill has gone. It has a shop, a garage, a pub,a school, plus a 9 hole golf course. Plus once a year a few White herrons
You say ugly, I say quirky..........Far better looking than a Treka or a CF bedford.
Rodney Giles last I heard was on a lemon farm in Akaroa, he has restored (well basically remade) quite a few.
Rodney could fix or make just about anything much like an old school blacksmith.One of his Alan cousins was the forman at the local foundry now he has the landmower shop in town. he actually won a national kart title about
two years ago he would have to be well into his late fifties.
One gearbox is three speed the other one is 4 speed = 12 forward gears as you would expect plus a super low crawler by putting both in reverse. Thus 13 forward gears.
In practice you drive it like a Road ranger gearbox. only it has two levers rather than a button.
Correct you can have a virtual chocolate fish.
Runaway engines, farm vehicles of sorts, 2 foundry pages per day, etc..... it's all go in kiwiland.
In Oz west coast, there are things happening also, albeit a pace that is far less than 10% of Fletto though.
After lots of measurements, layout drawings and head scratching I decided that I had to rebore the water jacket a bit more. Done. Now back to the cylinder to do the boring and the outside diameter & O ring grooves to suit the water jacket , then off to the plater. After that the crankcase.
While I'm here, we're helping a dude over here with an inertia dyno. For the flywheel overrunning issue, we are going to use a relatively available sprag clutch 40*80*22 BB-40-K, Keyed on ID and OD, tons of torque capacity and was around A$110
[QUOTE=Flettner;1130937595]No, some rockers were under the under the cam (in the case) with thin rods connected to more rockers pulling down on the valves, odd ball, not like our sane stuff here.
Do you have any illustrations of the rockers, I need to find a way of operating the valves in the same direction as the pushrod moves, and are not happy with any of the ideas I have come up with so far.
[QUOTE=MikeT1;1130937927]There was a desmo conversion for the pushrod 500 Velocette which used the pushrods to pull as well as push. Worth looking at for a steam valving setup.
I don't have anything on it on line but it was well publicised so should be worth a google.
Husa - just heard today that KG has sold everything up. Apparently all the s### will appear in parcels on trademe in due course of time. There's ChCh's last wrecker in premises gone. 2 or 3 working from home on line now only.
I cannot imagine that no-one in the whole of NZ does hard chrome; it should be easier than nikasil. I'm not the specialist in this field, but I remember that the prototypes of our MB40 model engines, with sleeveless alloy cylinders, were hard chromed in a couple of aquariums in the basement of one of the builders (to be fair I must add that when he was not occupied with those engines, he was a chemist professor).
I think it's correct. In my book cylinder capacity is maximum volume minus minimum volume. That leaves the question: is maximum volume reached at BDC?
In your present setup it will be, but if you re-phase the crankshafts, it has to be re-established.
If I can find the time I'll cock up some program that will add the volume displaced by the big piston and the volume displaced by the small piston per crank degree, and that will have an option for adapting the bore, stroke, gearing and phasing of both crankshafts.
Got any pics? (of both).
My mini motor is a motor only and could have actually been used in some other setup, but I did have one long ago (my first "motorcycle") - I bought the present one with a Villiers 8e engine and found it in a pile of other "junk" which came with it.
If it was copper plated first, then it might take the hard chrome, but then you could try a hard chromed brass bushing, Model aircraft cylinders used to be made with hard chromed brass liners.
How about just a bronze bush with labryrinth sealing? - after all there won't be much side force to worry about.
