Marcher 2 cyl vertical engine

[David Chadwick 3Participant @davidchadwick3]

Hello all,

can any one help on how to time the valve events on the Marcher 2 cyl parallel vertical slide valve steam engine, please.

This is one of several unfinished projects, and at 69 , although the Doctor has not advised me not to download any long computer programs or buy long playing records, time seems suddenly short.

All replies gratefully acknowledged

Dave

As it is a twin high rather than a compound you just time each cylinder as you would a single. As a starting point I would have the eccentriv leading teh crank by 90degrees plus about 5degrees of lead so 95 degrees ahead of crank total.

Dear Ian,

Is it possible that I also can have those instructions about the valve setting on the marcher engine you send earlier to another forum member?

I would be much obliged.

Kind regards,
