More fun with my cheap Harbor Freight router. I spent the last evening machining clearance on this 1" piece of aluminum for the path of the flywheel. I think I have an intimate relationship with this tool. It is so dangerous but so satisfying when the effort turns out and there was no blood or damage to the part you are attempting to carve.
Her is the first test for the starter gear depth |

Getting the starter to engage properly was probably the hardest thing I did on my conversion. But it looks like you are well on the way to getting it setup right.
Looks Great! |

Thanks Dave (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) .
I had a text exchange with a friend in Cleveland. He has a lathe and may be up to the challenge of making my extension piece. Here is what I sent him. I don't have any fancy shmancy computer drawing stuff. I'm not a draftsman or an engineer. Just a digital caliper and a pencil. I bet that's how it all started. All old school. Here is a photo of the step in the inside of the crank. This only allows the pilot bearing to be pressed in to flush. |

Between you Rick , the Maltese & the Red barn I don’t know which conversion keeps me entertained the most! Keep up the good work.
