My late Father bought a Yeoman brand new , the dog was to put it mildly a weak point , I recall him putting them in on a regular basis.

Carefully re-check the timing.

Firstly we need to establish which model carb you have .

Andy.

[andyfrost]

A huge thumbs up to all involved.

Andy

Thanks for that Geoff , the black and white pic you have posted , if it’s a Villiers , it’s one I have never seen before.

Andy

[andyfrost]

Geoff , are you absolutely certain that is a Villiers engine, it looks more like a Blackburne to me.

Andy

[andyfrost]

I make you right Charlie , the cowling looks to me to have come from a 7B (rowtrac) or a 25a (auto culto) , the block as you say Mk20 or 25.

Andy.

Charlie , many thanks for that , I wasn’t sure whether I’d renewed membership to the forum , or the club itself……. but I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer when it comes to computers.

Andy.

[andyfrost]

Well I think I’ve just renewed.

Andy.

[andyfrost]

Charlie , to save you the bother of changing wheels etc etc , I could bring my 56 with plough already set up.

Andy.

How about a plot ploughed and worked to a seedbed entirely by Simars.

Andy.

Here’s wishing you all a happy Christmas , and a healthy and happy new year.

The KS 280 is a VERY good machine , I like them far more than a Merry Tiller. The engine runs on 25/1 , 90 grade for the engine reduction box and the same for the main gearcase. The lever you refer to is the gear selector , it gives two forward and a reverse.

Charlie , that really is a superb find , even better it has a reversable plough with it , just goes to show how far ahead the continentals were with their machines.
I’m guessing late 1920s to early 30s, be nice to see it at Weeley……….. anything rather than another Trusty.

Oversize valves are available for the F15 , so no real need to go to all the hassle of machining guides to fit , the idea being to ream out to fit the oversize guides.
