Alan, thanks for the research.

That is an interesting use of a Howard 700, would make a good article for The Cultivator.

What engine does it have? What is engine number? It may be possible to get an approximate date from these.

Great to see another old machine revived and back doing what it was made for, one of the things I like about our hobby, we can still use the machines.

I wonder if Cox and Turner engineering might have any information

I found a numerical price list at the back which unfortunately only goes up to 13703. It would be handy to find a newer catalogue which might have 17529 in it.

[charlie]

Maybe.
But it is going to need every line looking at to find a specific part number.

I believe edit function has a time limit. This enables amendments to be made just after entering post, but prevents changes later, which may alter what someone else has already read, if that make sense.
Those with admin access can edit at any time, this enables any inappropriate content to be removed.

Andy is right, I have had a look and found 86 3519 is connecting rod bush big end for a BSA 220cc unit, model D. However that engine had a flywheel magneto.

Have you checked to see that you have a spark at the plug? It is not unknown for a new plug to be a dud.

It might be worth sending some photos and information to Patrick Knight for him to write an article to go in Stationary Engine magazine.

My thoughts were BSA

Richard, I have not forgotten to send manuals etc hope to do it this weekend.

If the choke is operating on its own it sounds as if it is loose, wear around spindle could be allowing air to be sucked in as would wear around throttle spindle. This will alter mixture and make it impossibe to set it correctly.
