Inductive Hour Counter / Tachometer – Petrol Engines

Posted on September 27, 2016 The Engineer

As one of my current projects involves a small petrol engine – a Honda GX35 clone, I figured an hour counter would be very handy to keep an eye on service intervals. (More to come on the engine itself later on). I found a device that would suit my needs

nbTanya Louise Drive Failure

Posted on September 28, 2015 The Engineer

As I have posted about before, the main propulsion system onboard the boat is all hydraulic. To get the drive from the flywheel of the engine to the hydraulic pump stack, a custom drive plate was machined by Centa Transmissions over in Yorkshire, and a Centaflex A coupling was fitted
