Feeling quite chuffed. The old B&S 3hp that was originally on my Wolseley Wizard has been rebuilt.
The original pulsa-jet carb was used to get my water-pump going so, it needed a new carb.
A complete motor with correct carb was obtained at the COEPS sale in November and the various parts purchased (gaskets, air-filter, piston rings etc.,) Valves were lapped in and gapped correctly and the whole lot put back together.
Pleased to say, that it started 4th pull (about right for a pulsa-jet) and ran beautifully, no smoke, no rattles, no coughs and splutters. Carb needed very little alteration from the 1.1/2 turns. Only downside; the right angle bend in the exhaust kept vibrating loose so, I had to remove it and replace the exhaust on its own without a bend.
I now have to find a use for it ! Two possibilities. 1) I have another Wizard minus its engine and 2) I have the tractor unit from a Howard 200 (also minus its engine) that could be turned into something useful. Both options have potential.
