Petter M Apple top 1927 - 5HP

[@GrumpyTim]

That's an oiling system that could catch people out rather easily Joseph - glad I watched this because those Petters are my favourite engines and maybe one day I'll get one - it would be a shame to run the oil dry by mistake.

[@enginelover1]

Yes it is, most of the M`s with white metal bearing have passed from it. Thats why later was upgraded with ball bearings. Mine have the main too gone with significant 0.1mm wear on the crank it self and a total of 0.5mm lift. The big end was gone and at some point someone just badly fitted and splited a main bearing and made it worst. I made new big and and have ground the crank too. The engine now suffers from piston slap that can be heard even in the video. I am now using SAE 40 oil to try and fill all the gaps as possible. Might even try SAE50 too. I am glad you read the description :)

Great looking and running engine, Joseph! Thanks for the info on the oiling system.

[@enginelover1]

Glad you kept watching while explaining how it lubricates it self. Thank you Bruce

Great engine Joseph and a verry nice sound as well my friend top job

Thanks Antoine ;)

Love hit and miss engine's running. Expecially working under a load they really shine.

[@enginelover1]

Thanks for watching :)

Good showing of the engine. Love those. Wish I has space for one.

[@enginelover1]

I have always wanted one of them, 1.5hp was looking for but this came up for grabs. Forgot to add the engine date to the tittle.

[@BensWorkshop]

@@enginelover1 It is a good one!

[@jvmalta081]

Nice one ! Love the colour

[@enginelover1]

Thank you, something a bit different from the usual Green.

[@rotaryhoes]

Very informative video. The engine is running very smooth. Nice work on the pulley too.

[@enginelover1]

It can be better as it have some piston slap but cant repair that. How are you Paul?

[@rotaryhoes]

@enginelover1 i think you have the skill to machine a new piston.... Im good, so busy working my engines are all covered in dust. So sad but one day i will get time to get back to them.

[@enginelover1]

@rotaryhoes glad you are. Yes I have the skill to do so. What I dont have is a flundry to make a castiron piston. You know how a 2 stroke piston is shaped.

[@rotaryhoes]

@enginelover1 a wood model, casting sand, melt some metal, sounds like a fun project. We used to do it at school, have to allow for shrinkage and then machining.

[@rainbow2710]

Interesting, as always. Great work, Sir!

Appreciate your kind words. Thank you. keep the 5th or 6th July free to pay a visit.

Sounds great, give the cat an extra pet for being so helpful :)

Good cat, at the beginning of our friend ship he was feared from me. Thanks for watching

Cute cat😍☺️😎

[@carmelpule8493]

Prosit Tassew. I believe a damper on that feedback link would make it a little smoother in its speed control. These are engines with a heat and a should as they run at heart-pace.

[@enginelover1]

Thanks for your comment

[@Iowa599]

Runs pretty smooth! can you repower a lawn mower, with it?

[@enginelover1]

There is a 100 use for stationary engines, I bet lawn mowing was one of them but maybe with a smaller engine haha

[@Iowa599]

Check the oil when it stops smoking.

[@enginelover1]

Its not bad to work out with that theory, yes it good practice for not leaving the piston dry out from oil. But the bearing will starve from oil much earlier before it stopes smoking. The sump it self hold accesses oil and that will keep splashing around for some time. Thanks for watching cheers mate

@@enginelover1 old joke, was about Chevys & Fords when I heard it, but, originally, it was probably in an owner manuel.
