    The Sachs diesel was by some distance the best engine ever fitted to the Gem , to replace one with one of those Kohler petrol efforts should be a criminal offence.

    The wheels should be as you say “hard rubber with tread on them” , as for manuals , there’s usually some on the well known auction site.
    Some engine spares are still available from Meetens , I recently got a set of new rings and big end shells when I did the engine on my Demon.

    Highly unlikely I would have said , like many machines that we play around with , we have to rely on secondhand donor parts.

    Angus , strangely enough I,ve just had one of those to pieces recently , on an F15 that I converted to fit on a Howard220.
    I can’t say that I gave it much thought , and also fail to see it’s intended function.

    Barry , I’ve had a look , there are minor dents , but it appears basically sound , it’s yours for free , if you’re prepared to collect from Norfolk , sorry , but I do not post fragile items , particularly those that can’t easily be replaced.

    It’s not unusual for these to be badly dented , as many never had the protective bumper fitted.

    I would thoroughly recheck the timing , it seems from your description that it may well have slipped.
    That oil should be fine.
