Some of those images are quite large. I’m trying to save space, so I don’t have to triple my server cost for storage.

I increased the attach image size to 7mb and the number of images per post to 7. Hopefully that will be enough.

Hmm. 
It looks like it just accepted a 4 MB image, but not a 5.1 MB image.  The limit seems to be set at 5000 kB, now.

Quote from: Bruce S – on
I do remember on the original forum that several founders did the same of skewing the magnets to lessen the cogging problems. If I remember correctly, this wasn't a big problem until the Sumerian-Cobalt <-sp? and higher powered mags started coming down in prices. I don't thinks this is/was ever a problem with ceramic mags.
I could be wrong.

Exactly.  I had already learned my lesson by then, even at the time I built that motor conversion.  Maybe 2010, people like Zubbly and Peter Dingemans and Jerry had it all figured out.  I just had to do what I was told...

Heating / Re: My miniture waste oil heater
Last post by Xeonpony -
right now a ton, and that is desired in this unit as it is mostly air heating, second chamber will be made larger and fully insulated for the boiler.

Now I am working on a small heated carburetor from an old pot burner for it, as mixing gasoline in is getting tedious

I did the math and for 4L per hour I need 250 to 300w to ensure cold oil will be at proper temp.

Question:
How much heating is coming off the exterior painted surface?  Maybe a heat blanket/wrap to keep a bit more in?

Cool build!!
