Thank you David. I’m very happy. It’s taken 3 months on and off to build and record, and I’m delighted it actually worked. Your help, support and advice along the way has been much appreciated. ATB Nobby
Another way to drill the holes in the cylinder for the covers: Drill the cover holes tapping size first, then you can transfer the holes to the cylinder just by drillingthrough them. Then open out the cover holes to clearance size.
Well done Nobby you have made a great job. I wonder why the design has the eccentric near the flywheel. If it were close to the innner bearing The eccentric rod could have a lesser bend.
So nice of you to say so David. You are right about the eccentric. On this model it could be mounted the other way around, but would still need a bend in the connecting rod. Although not as much of a bend. I did it this way according to the plans. PM Research engines all seem very similar in this respect. Hope to start on the Stuart 10V later this year. Thanks again David. Cheers Nobby
I guess they must have had a reason to design it this way Howard. All I could do was follow the plans. Even so the completed engine does look beautiful and runs smoothly. I’m happy 😊 Cheers Nobby
Hi Nobby. Congratulations on completing the lovely engine. It not only looks nice, it runs nice too. Waiting for comfortable weather is also my excuse for not getting on with my Stuart 10V. 😂
G'day Nobby what a great series this has been, you must be well pleased mate to see her 'alive'' and running after all those hours that you put into the build. P.s my potentiomenter on my mini mill (I hope that's what is is) has started to act up. I've ordered another, hopefully I can just follow the wiring and replace it and it starts to work again and its not a board or something worse :(
Hi Jim. You’re right I’m over the moon on how it turned out. So pleased it actually worked as well. I seem to have got the timing right as well, and it run straight away. Hope you get your lathe sorted out. The pot should be straight forward to fit. I do hope that’s all it is. Let me know how you get on. Take care. Nobby
I have one of the Linn Tools digital readouts that mounts onto the prismatic vee of my lathe bed and records the linear travel of the lathe carriage....it is very handy when boring blind holes with a boring bar and for external turning up to a shoulder.
Great outcome Nobby, well done. Also great improvement with drilling accurate depth holes now. Looks like a quality item. Regards from Australia.

Many thanks Kev, it’s very nice of you to say so. I’m very happy with it. Take care. Nobby

Thanks David that would certainly work. Great tip. Cheers Nobby
Excellent final result, and a nice smooth running engine 😊
Thank you Mr Rant Rider. I’m very happy. Wish it was as smooth as your GS 😅. Cheers Nobby

Thanks Andy, it was certainly worth the effort and seeing it run for the first time. ATB Nobby

Yes,I was also wondering why the eccentric is so far outboard of the main bearing when it looks like it could have been much closer.

Thank you Andrew, I’m very happy with the outcome. Especially as it actually works 😊 Cheers Nobby
Very well presented series of build videos, I’ve learnt a lot. Cheers Robert (Canada. minus 24C today)
Thank you Robert. It’s been a long journey but well worth it in the end to see it finally running. Cheers Nobby
G'day Nobby. The engine looks a treat. Nice work. 41 C here today. I could do with a bit of your cold weather. Cheers Rob
Hi Rob I’m pleased how well the engine turned out. I’d settle for half that temperature. It’s only 5c here. Cheers Nobby
Nice work mister Nobby.
The engine looks great.
Thank you Rusty. I’m pleased to have finally completed the build and delighted it actually worked. Thanks for watching the series. Take care. Nobby

Hi Howard Linn Tools do make an excellent range of tools. I love my tail stock DRO. Cheers Nobby
@@nobbysworkshopThe plastic parts are 3D printed as you suggest.
Really nice job Nobby, engine looks and runs great

I’m happy to see the engine finally running Rob. Cheers Nobby
good video nobby
Hi Michel. Thank you my friend. I hope you liked my little engine build. Nobby
@@nobbysworkshop very good job litle engine my friend
