    Peter , can I just turn up on the day , or is it pre-book only.
    I’ve not yet attended this one , and might well do it instead of Weeley.

    Take into account that the 25C on Allen Scythes have a form of electronic govenor , basically the points cam opens out centrifugally , this leads to what you could say is erratic running.
    I would try it at work , in other words under load , and see if the engine smooths out.

    It’s been said COUNTLESS times on here , multimeters are no good whatsoever for testing ignition coils, they need a go on a purpose built ignition tester.

    Also , thoroughly check your inlet manifold gasket.

    That looks much like a Sturmey Archer to me , I would say it’s from a Ransomes mower.

    As you have confirmed that it’s running hot . that to me confirms that it is timing too far retarded.
    Check and reset it , leave the tines as they are , and get back to us.

    I’d go along with Darrens thoughts , It sounds as if it is too far retarded……is it running very hot ??

    Charlie , I’m guessing it’s an early MAG engine.

    Like you Charlie , I,m beginning to think some form of hydraulic bench is on the must have list.

    Peter , have faith , it won’t rain tomorrow. Commers pull and ride better fully loaded……..fill it right up.

    Another trip down here to get yourself another cylinder and piston. I did strip the engine down that we had on the bench , the piston had VERY minor scoring , but would easily clean up , I haven’t measured the ring gap , but will do when I get a few minutes to spare.
