    I agree 100% with what Andy has said regarding replacing everything in the magneto, money well spent. New coil, condenser and points along with a new HT lead. I did this on the Villiers MK25 four stroke engine on my Trusty Earthquake, starts with no problems.
    The little cover for the points often gets lost (thrown away).

    Another consideration, if fuel is not fresh or has been left in the machine, is water in the fuel. The ethanol content of fuel can cause this. I had this on my Trusty Earthquake, draining out the float bowl I could see beads of water in the petrol.

    I thought the date for vintage was set by the Society of Ploughmen and applies to all classes.
    The introduction of more modern small tractors, if it happens, should be a new class leaving the current Vintage Horticultural class as it is, ie primarily 2 wheeled walk behind tractors etc. The list of eligible vintage tractors does not need amending. Perhaps the small tractors should compete in one of the existing tractor classes as do grey Ferguson tractors.

    If you are wondering where the October issue is don’t worry it is currently in the queue at the printers awaiting mailing. They will let me know when it is mailed out and I will update this post.

    I hope the global press give the VHGMC and H&D Trust a good write up.

    If the flywheel is removed the magneto timing will need to be reset see below for adjusting points, timing instructions and how to remove flywheel.
