Thank you very much for the link looks like it’s 1959 as it’s a G stamped on the crank case 16H/G/763/2.The original owner must have purchased the plough and Tarpen gear in the 60’s although I surpose the engine could have been in Landmaster’s store for a bit and mounted to the frame in the early 60’s.
One more question has any one got a link to a 16H engine manual?
Regards Len

Finally got the engine running today. After flooding the carb, starts almost straight away on half throttle with no smoke, but pops/bangs and shoots flame from the silencer (about every 5 seconds). Once the fuel level in the float bowl begins to drop back to it’s normal level, the engine looses power and stops. Would the indicated symptoms point towards running too lean?

Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year to you all. Owen. Not been on here much lately, instead of renovating Wheel Horse / rotavators etc. I’ve been working on a James motorcycle. (It’ mulled wine time again) Cheers.

Are we talking about the crawler or his other half Jonathan…..

[vhgmcbuddy]

I am pleased to report that my MG5 is now working thanks to Neil!

It turns out that the coil on my magneto was fauly (Neil replaced this for me).

With the re-conditioned Mag fitted the crawler is now running! – Thank goodness for that!

Previously my other half had declared her hate for the Crawler.

Now she’s had a go on it, she actually really likes it. 🙂

Just some general tweaking and a slightly leaky exhaust to sort now. Oh and a choke cable!

If anyone has the correct manifold and carb for sale I’d potentially be interested.

Here are a few pictures of it in action.

Regards

James
