Howdy all. Helping my son build a small (BMX) 20" bicycle that uses a 1HP O&R engine as a power assist. The idea will be to pedal it up to approx. 10 MPH and then let the motor propel the bike to (hopefully)20 MPH if geared properly. Not sure if it work but it will be an interesting exercise for his mechanical engineering project. I am new to these engines and have a few questions . It has a 1/2" sleeve with an internal taper that mounts to the crank pto. It looks to be maybe a 10-24 grade 5 fastener holding it on...doesn't instill a lot of confidence. Is there a torque spec for this screw..? Can I swap it out for a grade 8 socket head cap screw? Regarding the strange doughnut shaped exhaust manifold...can I loosen the cylinder head/barrel assembly just a little and rotate that exhaust to point in the direction I want it to and then snug it back down again? Do I need to change the gasket or seal once I break it loose? Is there a torque recommendation for this or just make it "tight"...? Thanks in advance. Gerry

A really enjoyable day at Rural Past Times at Sedlescombe today The weather was a bit hot for my liking and the ground was like concrete, so the working area was hard work, but a good varied turnout which made Mr Showman a happy chappy Nice to meet up with Tom and Simon from Norfolk Here's some photos...

A few more Here's a video of a Carnival trailer an old timer built in his spare time http://i623.photobucket.com/albums/tt316/wallfish1/th_video.mp4

They won't fit Alan but it seems the Chinese are doing copies of these carbs now so I would have a look on the bay, cos good original ones are like rocking horse poo poo

Working up at my mom"s in Wichita I happened upon an orphaned tractor, owner had passed. No implements but it runs great and was at the low price of 200.00

A very nice machine Alain, a "D" is on my "must own one day" list for sure.. The engine does look a little small under the hood, but I know from the 16hp fitted in my GT-14 that it has plenty of power

Thanks Kev, I'm looking forward to the show

Top job Mr Castle
