Re: small engine
The guys who build those engines are incredible. A few years back I stopped to visit Rumbleseat in Denver. He took me to visit Ron Bement who has built a number of various miniature engines. He makes every part of the engine itself right down to the bearings, Amazing..

Re: small engine
The engine is modelled on a 350 chev,I asked him why not a flathead ,he said he could not get any plans for one.
Rob, Fairlane fixed ,was a blown fuse in the brake light circuit. Lawrie |
