Gentles,

Many thanks to all members, and enthusiasts for kind words.

Today was a county holiday here, and so I give a run to all stationary (well, the Bernard is not a pure stationary, and the Volvo Penta stayed cold, but you all understand).

The Lister still being the swiss clock, off course, and both Petters needed to be primed, and the German is ready to roll.

And... its time to restore a 2 stroke 50cc motorcycle, from 1990, of my passed away oncle, that I buyed from my cousin, just to stay busy.  ;D ;D ;D

A few pics to showoff.

Cheers

PS: Stef its not a Zündap, because its too expensive, but this one is also an icon from the old days.

Gentles,

The German is ready, on the kart, and finalized.

Last bit was to fix the exaust pipe to the frame. Gave it a run and its low noise becuse the pipe is the 2inch original.

Make a video but something happen, that it doesn't show image.

A few pics to showoff.

Cheers.

Things are going up.

Manage to bought break line (thanks Bob for the tip) and its easy to bend. Its doing a very nice work.

Im finishing the German to take it to showoff at village next July. Want also to show the petrol Bernard of my mother, now I reclaim the trolly and gave it a good TLC.

Im saving also return line from IP to tank. I think it will be fancy. Hope!

A few more tweaks in the German.

Wrap heat resistant band to exaust pipe (Damn, at midlle of operation I realised band is fiber glass: no gloves, no mask, no goggles, and wearing shirt and shorts). do you need any picture??

Im wondering to take out band and let it metal bar.

Retailer sell me 15cm wide (min) of 0,5m band width of exhaust gasket. Damn, only to take a square of 10x10cm.

Few pics to show... how things are going.

Hi Gentles

Life goes on... with cardiologist making of me a test-tube for pils. Now side effects are skin rush. Damn!!!

Still kicking on engines. Got to start serching some rust iron... again.

The German got a "decent" kart, almost done, but got to put it solid wood replacing the anti vibration blocks. It doesnt worked.

Restore all exaust piping of it at village with the high debit propane torch. Now cut some portion and join it to all fitings. Give it a run and its low noisy.

Fabricating handle to pull it.

A few pinc for the show.

Cheers

Trolley almost done, and the German is already seated on the kart... But silent blocks aint work, because engine has 300+ kgs and rubber is feeling the weight and twisting back to front the axcell. And it will be dangerous.

Therefore, ill change silent blocks for hard wood, in order to give it solid state.

Buyed new toy, a pallet truck. 2nd hand almost new, a good deal.

A few pics to showoff.

Cold winter here and things are going slowly.

A few more bits to the German kart. 4 anti vibration blocks for the right weight, and made fancy spacers to level it, with a cross beam to make it solid.

Also buyed a new toy for tractor at village, an off-set disk harrow.

A few pics to enjoy.

Have a happy year.
