Little Angel
1 Cylinder, 4 cycle, Hit and Miss, 1/2
bore X 1/2 stroke
The motor is built from Bob Shores plans
"Little Angel" it is a .5 in bore and stroke. I started this project
about 6 years ago when I purchased a used sherline lathe. Having
absolutely no experience in machining, I soon was over my head. I had to
put this up for the better part of 5 years until I gained enough
knowledge to proceed. This is my first motor of any kind that I have
built. Many thanks to Bob for all the Emails and Phone calls of help.
Thanks to all the members here at FAME who answered all the questions I
have had in the past. I changed a few things from the original plans
such as the one piece rocker arm and with the advice of Bob at Iron
Fever Expo change to the Hall effect ignition. I was able to complete
this in time to give it to my father for his birthday. He as well
shares the love of these motors.
