Hello,I’ve recently purchased a shay roto gardener, well two really so ime asking can anyone tell me any servicing information like for timing, spark plug, fuel mix and belt size.I have one running but i know the timing is holding it back .They have not been used for many many years .I am going to put them or one or least to work on my allotment.Thanks.
Hello Charlie and Andy i have just had a glass of port, you will have to bare with me ,thanks for replying to me i will be back with some information on the two shay rotavators.
All i can say at the moment is its a 120 .and the rotors engage by a central push and pull knob.They both have a yellow alloy engine cover.3/18385 is the serial number on a plate on the chassis under the engine.Thanks.
Fuel mix 3/4 pint to 2 gallons of petrol.
Worm wheel gearbox oil EP140
Spark plug gap 0.018″
Points gap 0.014″
The owners manual does not specify plug or belt type or timing setting.
