It's amazing how much time you can waste looking for "stuff" for these old engines. (replacement brass or SS check balls, springs etc) |

The Dunn II looks great, Being right in the middle of redoing mine I've had the same thoughts that this is a very time consuming project compared to other engs that I have gone through ??

The Truscott is super looking old eng Too !! |

I originally thought that since the Dunn castings were pretty rough, I would not do the filling/sanding/wet sanding thing but just prime and paint the sandblasted castings. This did save a lot of time. It's just that the added complications of being a 4 cycle (gears, pushrods
springs, intake valve castings & springs) along with trying to fix & align the cylinders to the base (which in a "normal" engine would be a defacto thing) took a lot of time. Now, this is
a time consuming hobby (that's what a hobby is!!)
but I'm really glad I started so early. I still
expect to be running the Dunn at the August show
here in the Town of Maine, NY. |
