Howard 200 restored.

Well here she is. The Howard 200 I bought at the LVMS Spring showing from a club member.

Amazing what a lick of paint can do. Admittedly it’s only a brush job but, at least it looks the part now.

The engine was given a carb overhaul, new points, air filter, spark plug and thje exhaust is from a Briggs & Stratton (note the natty little adaptor to enable me to fit it. Made by an engineer friend for me).

Looking forward to trying it out at the allotment and at Moggyjim’s Summer workout at Lotmead Farm in July

Hi Jim, I’ll pop over one evening and pick them up. My wife’s in hospital at the moment but, coming out tomorrow otherwise, I would have already been over.

Don’t worry, plenty of paint left !

Have now decided to fit all four tines to each rotor. Couldn’t help thinking it didn’t look right with three.

It now looks nice and balanced and should give better results when working.

The 4HP engine is more than up to it.
