Now down to some serious assembly on the engine. Slowly putting it back together and checking everything as I go.

This is as far as I have got. The fuel tank still need fixing to the base

Thank you.

Main engine assembled and timing and valve clearance set, need to find a spring for the governor balls. Will search through my spring box. As it is, I found a spring for another part and ping it went off on it’s travels never to return, luckily I found another to replace it with.

Working on a Fuel ordered while waiting for that I can work on the wiring and getting the fuel tank fitted, and a top made as well as an exhaust that will look the part all set up ready to machine that.

Another little job today, please give your thoughts on this will it work or is it a try it and see.

As the plans don’t show an exhaust, just a threaded hole in the head, I thought of making one based on something I have seen around the rally fields.

There will be a short pipe joining them. As can be seen a little on the small size but any bigger I felt would be out of place.

Assembled and cleaned up. £1 coin for scale
