Hi I need some advice from a builder of the Bobcat I am at the stage of mounting the cams, on the drawing there is a note stating that the cam shaft leads the outer pair of exhaust cams anti clockwise. On this engine there is an idler gear in the gear chain so the cam shaft runs clockwise as the crank shaft. I have fitted the cams as per the drawing but it does not seem right?

Am I missing something ?

Some help please

Check out the David Kerzel web site a nice hit & miss from bar stock

Hi I to have a warco lathe which I have had for a few years prior to it I had a clark lathe and mill and i purchased a qctp for it, I to discovered your problem using it on the warco what I did was to bore the qctp to accommodate the boss on the top slide I also had to alter the 4 recesses to under the qctp to suit the locating pin, I hope this helps. My qctp was from arceurotrade.

Go to Breckland Scientific they sell Fields metal which is the same as Wood`s metal

Hi Neil

I have just been trying to read the latest issues of ME and MEW with great difficulty the new format is not an improvement , I cant print a page. On occasion when turning a page the right hand page disappears I have sometimes lost the hole mag to retrieve it I had to go back to square one. The only way to read a page is to zoom in any printing before that is blur .

Is this the shape of things to come?

Not being able to print is a big issue for me especially from back issues.

Hi I to use oxy pro for brazing and silver solder My oxy regulator is calibrated up to 400bar for checking the cylinder content and the low pressure gauge is calibrated up to 7bar. In my area the scrap yards use this set up for cutting scrap using a cutting torch but I use a oxy ac torch which can handle nozzles up to a no 10, for my use I use a no 3 it all depends how much heat you need, adjust the cone size to suit your needs.

You must use flash back arresters on this on this set up this is a must. For brazing you don't need a lot of pressure round about 5psi, for cutting up to 40 to 50 psi of oxy.

If you go on to utube you will get more info.

Hi All, I have been browsing the Bobcat construction notes in the archives and can open all the mags except number 4442 on clicking on this mag it comes up on the screen and appears to try and open but nothing happens. can any one help?

Hi Neil, Sorted the problem nothing wrong with the printer, I changed the browser and on clicking on print I got a different dialog box with more options. Prints ok now I have used the other browser for years?

Hi Neil, When I go to print I click on the page which enlarges and gives me a box at the top which says print which I do. I did try to print on landscape and it printed A4 but I lost the bottom of the page .

Donald

Hi all, Many thanks for your feedback, on clicking on preferences there are no options for paper size only print quality and what printer . If it were a print setting problem I would have thought all pages printed would be the same but this only happens when printing from ME and MEW.

Hi J I can only access MEW on pocket mags and it wont let me print a page there. The printer adjusts itself when a5 paper is inserted. I still have no problem printing from any where else , it just prints a4, 4 weeks ago everything was fine on our mags. and there is no place to adjust paper size in the printer except to insert a different size paper and adjust the side bars.

Hi J, My printer is an HP envy5530 and it prints to the size of the paper inserted A4 is inserted and today I have printed various pages from both mags , they all print at A5 with the 2and a1/4" black strip down the side?

Yes printing from archives .The printer settings have not been changed as far as know. I can print other documents from the web and docs from my laptop and they print ok.

Hi all, From time to time I print plans from our mags but yesterday when I printed a page it printed in a 5 size with a 2 and 1/4" black band on left of a4 paper. Three weeks ago I printed Allan Brothers flywheel this was ok but when I printed the same page today it printed it in a 5 size. Both mags are printing the same.

Can anyone help I`m going through a lot of black ink.

Donald Williamson Just loged in and can not get didgital issues "my Details" also has 8 digits which has been OK up until now . Can any one help . Donald
