388 forum posts 137 photos	Pressing on with my set of castings for Centaur. Today saw machining start on the flywheel, cuts well but as with some of the others I have machined they could have been a bit more generous with the material! [url=https://postimg.cc/0b298PZp][img]https://i.postimg.cc/0b298PZp/Flywheel-inner-face-and-bore.jpg[/img][/url] All finished one side and reamed the bore so need to remount to complete the other side. I have made a slight change to the original design by increasing main and big end running diameters to 5/8 which looks a lot 'meatier' Anyone interested can have a look in my photos to see what I've been up to! Alan Edit- sorry, photo didn't happen! Edited By AJW on 02/11/2018 20:38:46 Edited By JasonB on 02/11/2018 20:47:53

28 forum posts 7 photos	Hi Alan Yes mine runs well and starts easy, I'm using coil ignition. Just a tip fit a non return valve in the fuel line (just a simple ball returning by gravity). I'm having a problem up loading photos but hope to in future. Regards Pete
