Try removing the fuel injector and reconnect it outside the engine,crank the engine with various throttle settings and watch the mist see what happens when you shut the throttle down, sounds as if the governor fuel rack link may be set wrongly. Good luck.

Hi Martin
If the magneto clicks when all is tightened up are you turning the crank over with the starting handle or by pushing on the fywheel. If so when you rotate the sprocket on the magneto with the lower sprocket loose try rotating the mag sprocket in the opposite direction to that which you have been. The impulse dog will only engage if the…[Read more] -

Hi Martin, you have the correct magneto, to set the timing loosen the lower of the two timing chain sprockets ( the smallest one ) set the crank to exactly top dead center. With the timing chain lower sprocket slack, rotate the larger sprocket on the magneto until you hear it click, reverse rotate the mag sprocket about 60 degrees and nip up the…[Read more]

Healthwise I am told I should make a full recovery but having so many tractors and parts would have been a…[Read more]

It looks as if the crank has an older crack which has failed, may have been there for years.

Hi Simon
Glad to see you are getting torn in to the sprayer, the wheels are very rare and so are the tyres, my plan if the wheels wer too far gone was to find some wheels with wrong centres of a size that tyres are easy to buy and then cut out the centres of the old wheels and weld them into the new rims. Not a practice I would recommend for a…[Read more] -

The engine is I believe a Sturmey Archer, the “screw” missing from the carb is as Charlie says a tickler plunger to flood the carb, the silencer I have is very similar I will take a picture.
