Birth of a new Stuart D10
rhavrane:
Bonjour,
There is no two Stuart D10 identical.
Max, an outstanding modelmaker, is finishing a magnificent Stuart D10 equipped with a mechanical coupled water pump. Admire the details of his manufacture.
Since the original crankshaft was not originally drilled, Max made a coupling for the pump shaft and made two bearings instead of one to support it.
Here are its first test (it will be painted with the original green an black Stuart colors, every screw will be tightened and the side valves have to be accuratly adjusted) : https://youtu.be/CtoQT9tvom4

Very nice :-))
steam up:
Good looking engine seems the timing is a little off (problems in self starting) sure it will be sorted :-))
rhavrane:
Bonjour,
Yes, Maw has to review the timing after mounting the pump and I was surprised to see how a degree of shift of the eccentrics could affect the operation of the machine. I thought that 120 ° between the two was mathematically correct, the reality shows the opposite ...
I also understand why it is impossible to make the two excitations in a single block of metal, independently of machining difficulties.
SteamboatPhil:
A very nice piece of work :-))
