Going from memory I don’t think the capacity is given.Fill the main gearbox till level is reached on long dipstick. Use a non EP oil such as Morris Oils AG140. Owners manual gives details of checking oil is getting to worm gear assuming it is a machine with oil pump.

Thanks Charlie. I know you’re an expert, is the transfer the right way up. I didn’t think so the as soon as I applied it

[charlie]

Unfortunately you are right, the transfer is the wrong way round.

If I put another one on top would it stick?

If I put another one on top would it stick? I don’t know as I have never tried.

Just tried to start it. No fuel mixture getting to the cylinder. Float chamber is filling up and when a little fuel is added straight in to the cylinder it runs. I put a replacement main jet in during the rebuild ,does the taper needle and jet need to be paired? Any ideas would be very helpful. Thanks

The taper needle is adjustable to get the correct fuel/air mix, the files attached below detail carb overhaul and set up.

Very smart, but I have to ask, are the tyre treads supposed to be facing in different directions left and right?

[charlie]

The wheels can be reversed to give a different off set. If one is at narrow setting and the other is at wide setting then it would have one tread facing the opposite way. If both wheels are on the same setting then yes it would appear one tyre is on the wrong way round.
