Steel parts don't instantly rust..... Especially in the dry climate I live in. Been doing this for years guys, learned it in pylon racing where we disassemble after EVERY engine run. And I always reassemble with CLEAN assembly lube. I don't know of one high performance engine guy that would let you anywhere near his engine with old used fuel. Not my first rodeo. Do whatever you want but I've already got a system that works.

happydad has the rest for me

I have these three backplates. Will they work?
- They have original copper reeds that don't look in too bad of a shape. Maybe they can be cleaned up.
- All three will at least need soaking in alcohol to clean off the castor.
- All three needles turn but are a gummy. two of the needles are aluminum.
- Only one has screws.

this sould work
it would be better if all engines are the same but it its better to have a good example then no example at all

so yes i would love to have them

robot797:  ask Cryhavoc to send them to me. i can send him address thru PM. that way he doesn't spend $$ sending you ounces when i will send more ounces later and spend a few more $$.

Cryhavoc we already know the rates, so trust us. please.

i will be sending robot797 the bulk of parts when he is satisfied that i-we in the U.S. can get everything he needs except the electronics that he will build there.

If he needs electronic parts he should ask for those too. i was an electronics engineer for almost 40years.

over and out.

>>>>>edited 8-23-20 1:40p.m. PST to add photo.   Well, since robot797 is shy i will show you a photo of a .049 set up for a "boat" to run on propane, or butane or whatever he chooses to use. This is just the engine, engine mount, spark plug, muffler, water-cooling jacket, running hardware,  and ??


enjoy robot797's handywork

I just need to know where to send the parts. I left you a PM.

Nice work on the Marine Bee! I'm currently working on a geared Twin Bee, and a Sideport Diesel conversion as well as some other stuff if I can find some damn time.
