The cards that seem to work in cases like yours need to work without a factory driver, try reinstall with an ms generic driver first before hunting cards, the startechs from tigerdirect have never failed.

i just wish ...

Give it a try!  Start out with a simple steam engine. If that goes well build a milti cylinder steamer. If that goes well build a 2 stroke gas engine. Work your way up from the basics. That's the way 90% of the engine builders do it. Start small.

I have a coke bottle kit, things have been moving slow but I have not given up.

And do you have complete plans for this or just the blower?

thanks for the inspiration

Most tables let u mesh the worm tightly/tighter or just drill the mounting holes for lash. I use / sherline type setups, there collar is solid. The bigger motor / driver the better.....

These will be supper in the next year or 2. They go to the creek when the lake freezes.

As far as bambi goes, oh well. I broke my back in a motorcycle accident because of over population. But that led me to cnc and here so it kinda evened out.

Happy summer/winter
