Martin, several of the dampers I have described, using all brand new parts which are readily available and inexpensive, are running on stovebolters' engines and have been giving trouble free service for several years. I am not interested in producing these balancers for sale, but I will gladly share the procedures involved, free of charge, to anyone willing to contact me AND DO IT MY WAY. It works. Now I'm on to other pursuits and doing the same old thing over and over bores me. Ditto for the crankshaft snout threading device I developed. It works, but I don't run a job shop machine company, blindly turning out thousands (or even dozens) of identical parts. I'm also glad to share the details of that project with anyone capable of following simple instructions. That "Damper Dudes" balancer will work, but what they put in the small print is that there is an outrageous core charge in addition to their already inflated purchase price. Jesse James had to use a gun to rob people!
