Thanks James for the challenge, of course his video is at ruclips.net/video/JNEPVXvdX8U/видео.html Some errata and other commentary: - I misspoke when I said M5x0.5mm is not a standard pitch, you can of course see on my screw plate that it is. However, at the time of taking this on I did not have any taps or dies for M5x0.5mm; and using a die on such a small part with a shoulder has its challenges anyway Overall I love making and fixing parts to keep machines usable and out of the waste stream (or even better, get something salvaged from the scrap pile). Have a project or part you need?
I'm a tool maker with 43 years on the bench. I'm working eves at the moment to re-train on the latest cad-cam software for our Haas machines. I don't think I could make any better a part than you have in a home shop with a basic lathe! Bravo sir!😊
Also came from James' channel... It's awesome seeing you guys save old equipment! It all was built better with better materials to last not like the throw away over priced garbage we get now! If "they" really actually cared about the environment it would be mandatory that things are built like the old days!
As many others, I came to your channel from James Condon's video. I'm an old school machinist myself, and have done many challenging projects on a lathe. I enjoyed watching your process, and probably would have approached the project in a very similar manner. The last dozen or so years before my retirement I worked pretty much exclusively with a small high-precision CNC mill, and it's fun to think about how I might have done the job that way. It *almost* makes me miss working. Cheers to you, sir, on a job well done.
@@1geisterfahrer thank you for the comment. I knew using a tap for this was atypical but had nothing to lose and figured it could let me make this with what I had available on hand
Just watched James episode and am so glad I jumped over to your channel to watch the process of making this tiny part. I'm absolutely amazed at your methodology and process to get this tiny part correct. Thanks
I just watched JC's channel and the vintage Honda generator. Was thinking of telling him (in the comments) that he could get that needle, but it would be a long hunt. The Japanese made lots of carburretors in the 60's,70's and 80's and that needle would be a standard item on several carbs, especially motorcycle, outboard motors and utility small engines. Finding the part number would put him on the right track. But all is well.🐞
My old amal carb from my 49 G80 has a slightly worn thread , a 5mm screw is slightly bigger and fits well , great idea to make an old looking brass headed metric idle screw. You should get a thread pitch gauge set , make life a bit easier. Cheers
I purchased a small CNC lathe to do just what you are doing. Part flex is the biggest issue I find. Make a couple of taper gauges to work out how long the needle needs to be. Thread is straight forward. M5 threads are fairly common. Nice work. 👍
Good video. Came from james condon channel. Thanks for Making the needle & saving the generator. was thinking - Would it have been possible to Start with a Galvanised machine screw of same thread pitch & size & machine taper & cut to length ?
Great work on the needle. When James Condon removes the generator rotates, I've often thought a turned fitting to adapt a plumber's pressure test pump, to the thread in end of rotates, to use hydraulic pressure to break the taper fit. Could you turn an adaptor? Do you think it would work?

Brilliant effort and work there Ryan. Hope the viewing count and subscriber numbers proves your effort was worthy
Thanks a lot for your help on this one and great video. I could watch machine work all day long.
Thanks for saving the Honda generator for James channel!!!
Came from James' channel and wanted to say thanks for saving a piece of history and showing us regular folks how it's done.:)
I just watched James video. Great job machining that needle!
Great machining! Amazing work.
Coming from James' video. Subscribed.
Really enjoyed. Hope to see more. FYI, came from James Condon, like many others, and happy to find you.
Great work. Thanks so much for saving that little old Honda chap. :)
Came from James. Nice job. 👍

Bravo sir!😊
Thanx for the needle, James couldn’t have done it without you. 😊
The last one made the 60 years old Honda run perfect! 👌🏻
Awesome thanks for sharing and thanks for helping James!!!
Great job for helping James.🎉🎉🎉🎉

James sent me Excellent work. Very skilled craftsman. Subscribed.
Amazing machine work and explanation of the process :)

Great job!
nice work
Came from James channel I know you make one that works and I thank you for it looking forward to binge your videos
You know your stuff. You are good.
Great job, thank you for sharing!
Nice video. Great skill. Hope you can help James more in the future machining things.
Excellent video great job. Really enjoyed it. I like that it is finger adjustable also 😊. Happy Thanksgiving. I'll be watching! Subscribed 😊
Fantastic machining. Thanks for helping to restore a rare piece of history.
came from james, you have a new suscribers 🤓👍
Saw you on James Condon channel, so I added you to my Subscribe list! Good luck! 👍
What all of James's videos. Had to come see your work. Great job!
great video. thanks for helping james out of a bind.
Great video and Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
Excellent reverse engineering not an easy part to replicate in any way, lovely job on the threads and pitch.
I'm not a toolmaker, machinist etc but this is a very interesting upload...
A screw is a screw, unless it is a screw for a carburetor. Nice work😀

You are a genius!
Great machining! Amazing work
That was awesome!
