Listeroid Engines / KOEL 8/1 Project
« on: July 13, 2012, 04:10:35 AM »
Making some Progress on the Kirloskar 8/1 with ST5 project.
I laid out and tacked together the subframe. It's from 2" x 3" thick wall. Dimensions are 20" x 60". I also cut out 2 20" x 20" plates from 3/16" material for bases.
Here's a pic of the frame:
Here is pic of the plate laying on the frame:
Here is a pic with the ST5 genny sitting on the frame for some measurements:
I also got the lister off of the crates and packing. I started her for a second just sitting on the shop floor. It scooted a little but would pretty much just sit there and pop...pop...pop away.
It looks as though for belt clearance, unless I build up a base to bolt to, I am going to have to offset the engine and genny head to one side of the frame. Allowing the flywheel and generator pully to hang over the side. Anyone have any thoughts on this or anything you see in the pics?
One last pic of her on the floor with no packing (this pic also shows my air filter mod):
