You have done a lot of work on this engine now and it has made a huge difference to the way it runs ! The changes you made were very subtle but you have managed to rescue a fairly ramshackle engine by correctly getting to the root of it's issues. This shows your experience and expertise very clearly, I wonder how many people would have identified those faults and been able to fix them ? Some very valuable tips in this video series, thank you !
I have used 3 Microcoysm governers. S50, #9, #1, I have become familiar with them as I have rebuilt the bottom half of 2 of them to make them truly function on the larger models; enlarging intake and through hole, enlarging plunger valve. Work great! Look great.
These videos are brilliant entertainment, very informative and I'm a big fan of your delivery. I'm a good way through binge watching your entire channel during this lockdown. I'm more of a railway buff, and as someone who's always wanted to get into model engineering, it's encouraging to see what you achieve without too many specialist tools and techniques, and how you explain your methods in a brilliant but modest fashion. So many thanks, and keep up the good work! Thanks for reading and I hope you found it useful.
Interesting that what we in the US call a "set screw", you guys in the UK call a "grub screw." It has grown on me and I find myself saying it at work; my co-workers give me odd looks when I refer to it as such. Calling it a grub screw makes me think of a fat little grub wiggling its way through the dirt.
I would make the distinction that a set screw locks movement between two parts, a grub screw is a bolt without a head. So in this case it is a grub screw being used as a set screw.
