MTA I cant hear the popping either The second video is invalid apparently Knowsnothin the sound of the Mastrand is hard to describe, you can hear the sound better on the second video try this link, it is there, http://video.tinypic.com/player.php?v=23r4tmu SPOKESMAN Knowsnothin wrote: the sound of the Mastrand is hard to describe, you can hear the sound better on the second video try this link, it is there, http://video.tinypic.com/player.php?v=23r4tmu Stilla popping sound or stuttering? MTA if that flywheel is decrepit, you should stop it before it hits something! Knowsnothin It kind of sounds like one of those "put put boats" sounds like it is chugging through water. the flywheel is in a bad way MTA but the engine moves quite slow so I risked it, at arms lenght of course Mamodman123 Sounds clunky in a way good to see it running, be careful with that flywheel though Knowsnothin Looks like it could blow at any minute, Ill fire it one more time, and get a better video, will probably mothball it then, untill I make a flywheel, I saw Walace made one using a drill as a lathe so might try that.....

I think that was his brother who used his power drill as a lathe... Griffin It is a differant sound , still a good runner though. Manxman You're far more brave than I could be. I've decided not to run mine, but then I can't make a new flywheel. Yours looks brill and a real joy. Don't be over brave. I still think the original flywheel even in this condition will be better than a new one.

You should see the next flywheel he made for a Bing he is doing up. Incredible. I'll try get a pic sent to me        The Unofficial Mamod and Other Steam Forum Forum Index -> Videos Page 1 of 1
