Verify that the center bearing support is actually bolted tightly in place?
Same for the ends of the driveshaft?

That was a big thing in Mother Earth News in the 1970s, I can remember 
seeing the plans in the magazines.
And there were articles about Darrieus rotors with Savonius starters, 
but I don't recall if there were actual plans. Darrieus turbines require 
actual windfoil shapes IIRC, Savonius can be done with a sawzall and 
some barrels.

I agree with Jim. I wouldn't think that it would be an intermittent 
issue if it was the drive shaft out of balance due to improper alignment 
after repair. One would think it would shake all the time if that were 
the case. Might shake worse at some speeds but one would think it would 
have vibration all the time due to imbalance.


I would look carefully for some other problem before going back to the 
driveshaft.


Is the engine still running smoothly when the vibration starts?

That design has been around for ages. Not particularly efficient but if it 
works and costs very little good for him.

That only works on calm days, Jim.  When it's breezy the drums fly around

Paint "X lives matter", or "Save the Whales", or "For the Children"
on the barrel halves, and officially call it a prayer wheel.  Whatever
is likely to work in your area.  Get them to complain officially, on
paper, using your official name for the contraption.  Enlist media

That should be of “any” electricity, considering that their utility 
infrastructure is pretty much non-existent.

The rust scares me. The interior is passable but looks kinda amateurish.

Re: [MBZ] Todays CIS fun

[Jim Cathey via Mercedes]

I had an issue on the 450SL where the thermostatic idle air
valve had started to come apart.  If you set the idle when cold
it was wrong when hot.  If set when hot it wouldn't idle when cold.

The part was expensive, but I noticed when comparing photographs
that mine seemed to have an extra 'step' in the casting.  That turned
out to be a friction-fit plug from assembly that had started to back out
under spring pressure.  I used a hammer and a socket to set it back
flush again.  After that the idle could be adjusted, and it worked both
when hot and cold.

Dang, aside from the "patina" that looks like a fairly solid coupe. A shame. 
Euro headlights too.

My one experience with this problem, for sure, didn't have it being all that
intermittent.  See:

http://formicapeak.com/~jimc/JSLdline.html 


Short version: the alignment matters, down to the spline level.  Some drivelines
are marked in the castings, some are not.  It is possible to recover yourself,
cheaply, with some work.
