Useless information
1 1/2 inch bore and 3 inch stroke
Flywheel was made from a spare brass/bronze disc i had
Straight spokes milled then free hand and eyeometer the curves
with files and dremel,
Cheers

WOW Dennis
"This arrived here in a sad state" most definitely qualifies as
some rather serious understatement!
Your listing of useless information is informative and
appreciated, as that is just the info that we like to judge the
power capacity and merits of most stand alone engines like this.
A whole 'nother WOW, for essentially "hand carving" that fine
curved spoke flywheel "by eye" in an artisan/craftsman fashion
.... impressive to say the least!!!

Dennis, that really turned out to be a thing of beauty. Love
that you literally created the flywheel...sure looks good to me
and runs on next to no pressure. Well done.
