Hey all....I need help in assembling the crosshead link and piston assembly into the cylinders...Are instructions available or a trick to this? I haven't checked You Tube yet...
I want to thank everyone who has helped me...Making a joke here...Anyhow...SUCCESS...
Yep, got everything in it's place and the engine runs smooth...For information, I found it easier to fix the cylinder in place and remove the main rod and eccentric rod from the driver wheel. This makes it easier to insert the upper piston rod into the cylinder which I believe needs to be done first...after that rod is inserted, everything seemed to go together. Don't be afraid to bend the linkage a little. When I first started this repair, I had the main rod and eccentric fixed to the driver wheel and the cylinder free...that didn't work.
Hope this helps someone down the road...
We knew you'd figure it out! That's the best education! 😂😎
Thank you sir...success as well as failure is rewarding...
