Listeroid Engines / Re: Whete to find non detergent oil in canada
« Last post by cujet on February 17, 2024, 01:25:38 PM »
I really can't think of an advantage to a Non Detergent oil. Modern diesel oils are very well suited for Listeroid use.

I'd love to see a video of it up and running again.

These engines really are special. With basic skills, they can be kept running nearly forever. Good job on the repair!!!!

I just got caught up on this thread.  Wow, 38AC sure nailed it.  Bravo on your troubleshooting and persistence, Hugh. So glad it worked out.  I hope you can find a small machine shop nearby who can help with your custom key project.

For Christmas I got myself a cheap TIG torch, filled my former nitrogen bottle with argon and taught myself some beginner level scratch start TIG.  Added a new tap so I could use just 2 batteries plus the sheet metal resistor of my direct battery DC stick welding  TIG likes the lower voltage better.  Tried some silicon bronze brazing with it too- easy and quite fun.  That's what I'd use to build up the top edges of your keys, I think. 

Best Wishes,
Bruce

Bob, at one of the Amish sawmills I work part time everyone goes to one back corner to relieve themselves. The mill is sided with tin and it is rotted off about 3 foot high from people pissing there, LOL

Bob, that's the same problem I had when we moved 8 years ago. My shop work was shut down for over a year while we remodeled and moved and I build my shop. Work kept coming in and I had quite the pile when I got going again.

At least one of them isn't in pieces in a box. The other....looks, well foreshadowing. Good luck!

Hi Butch, looks like word has got out that you are a man that knows what he is doing. I`m still going through trying to get my workshop set up, but work has already started to roll in, don`t need it right now but word gets around.
I do hope that the quantity of incoming work is not going to impact your contribution on this forum
Thanks for your great advice to Hugh.

Bob

No wonder these flywheels are so difficult to remove if Butch is recommending urine rather than Loctite. well done guys, Hugh is back in business!

Eating supper tonight,
A truck backs in driveway with long trailer, Hmmm what's this all about??
Driver says he has two engines for me, Uhhh what??
He has a note, says repair as needed signed xyz Amish fellow from 3 states away.
 2 Z3 Bamfords they are the 7HP version. Out to the barn they go, many engines are a head of them. Hope he is not in a hurry!
