Reply To: Ransomes engine carb improvement

[davidbliss]

Engine runs fine better than some clocks, with the impulse mag from cold I gently pulled it over on the flywheel and was away. I am a bit of a perfectionist and when I hear people saying they all ran like that or when they just put and put every few seconds eight stroking afraid its not good enough for me so will still have ago with the carb and might try a bit more on the needle seat or making a smaller slow running jet but that is ok if running just above tick over. Grand fathers MG6 out fit was bought by Cecil Knights of E H Knights and Sons as it was already getting old back then was in very good order and they had all its tools painted and can remember seeing them sort of on show in his garden. It wasn’t one of the very early models but manual lift. At one time it had some peculiar gearbox problem with its internals coming loose and rotated.
