    Andy, thanks, I had already spotted that. Bit of a gamble as they made so many different engines.

    Had a look on their website, current issue didnt seem to have it in unless online version is not full magazine or you have a different issue.

    I find the only way to be sure of setting timing correctly on these engines is to remove head to measure position of piston.

    One other problem I had was identifying what model of Clinton engine it was. The plate with that information is missing. After a bit of research on the internet I found it stamped in the cowling it just needed the paint carefully removing. I now know it is a 498.

    There appears to be a problem at the moment causing an error message ‘file not uploaded’ to appear when trying to post photos. We are looking in to it to see what has happened.

    I wondered who had bought it. Did the seller give you the following information? 350309 was delivered on 5-3-1957 to J L Blakemore, Plascyni, Berriew. Let me know if you need anything like owners manual, parts book etc. I will see if I have any side panels in my spares pile.

    I use Ethomix supplied by Frost Restoration to help reduce problems ethanol in modern fuel can cause.

    Before starting ensure machine is in neutral and tines are disengaged to avoid any accidents. Turn fuel on, tickle carb, open throttle a bit then wind starting handle. If engine has not run for some time it might be a good idea to check for a spark at plug before starting. Once engine is running check for oil flow as said by hortiman.

    One of the great things about our hobby is we can use what we collect.
