running on both cylinders







I got the motor running on both cylinders, still have a lot of things to fix but there is progress.  When I started it would run starting at 125 psi ( 8.6 bar) and would stop at about 80 psi ( 5.5 bar) . After some tinkering it would keep running down to 57 psi  (3.9 bar).

 I still have to build a mounting frame for it and polish the trunnion plates.  Once I get that done then I can get the reversing valve mounted.
