I am still looking for a flywheel nut for my fathers Tarpen 2 stroke generator engine.It is a Left Hand Thread nut.If anyone knows what the size and thread pitch is i can get one made.If anyone has a spare parts list for these old generators maybe it will state the size / thread pitch ??.Thanks for any help.

As you appear to know someone with the knowledge and equipment to turn up a new nut, I’m sure that they would have the ability to measure and gauge the thread size and pitch – or am I missing something?

They want the crankshaft Wristpin but due to the complete generators size and weight that would mean me removing the engine from the frame etc which TBH i didn’t really want to get involved with.However if that’s the only option then I will have to do it.

Stuart , by the age and the fact that it’s british , I would hazard a good guess that it would be BSF.
