Latest on my Simar, plough almost finished and new wooden handles fitted, things looking as they are think I will only be ploughing my own veg patch at this rate 😳

Thank you dorigny, that is indeed my machine.

Seen on another forum
The Government will continue to make fuel containing five per cent bioethanol available for owners of historic vehicles. It’s good news for classic car owners, who feared they would be forced to use fuel containing 10 per cent bioethanol, which can be harmful to older vehicles.

Hi folks
Can anyone give me the correct spark plug gap for my Simar type 56a Rototiller please

[vhgmcbuddy]

No idea as to the maker but a “ smell test” will establish whether the axle has an EP oil in it or just a straight oil. Which ever, you will probably be safe with either an EP 80/90 or a straight 80/90. Unless, that is, you can identify it has worm drive. If worm drive it will need an oil specifically for that application.
Hopefully someone will identify the machine and lead the way to a specific answer.

Hi New to this forum and have a question about 12hp Gems mine has stripped the splines out of the right hand hub, Are there any fixes for this (inserts ,liners etc) the splines on the shaft look un touched but the cylinder on the 4 bolt flange has been stripped out. Did consider Mig welding some metal back on and file and grinding it out must be a better fix out there. regards kettering bloke.
NOTE. A new topic has been created for this question. Howard Gem stripped hub splines .

Many thanks chaps, yes I closed the choke Charlie, I will have to find her little ways out as you say rotavator thanks for your continued support gents this is the joy of being a member of the VHGMC access’s to so much know how from it’s members 👍

[vhgmcbuddy]

I find several of mine need two or three pulls even with choke. The 56 tiller also needs quite a lot of tickling. I’m sure if you experiment you’ll find the secret to yours!

Started my Simar up for the first time last weekend, as you said Rotavator, loud! With my home made exhaust pipe, I have to pour fuel inti the spark plug hole to get it started any hints on this chaps ? Seems it needs that to start pulling fuel in from the carb?

[vhgmcbuddy]

Thank you Charlie, I thought this would be a little more inconspicuous… 😉

[vhgmcbuddy]

Have you got the part number for the kit?

[vhgmcbuddy]

Hello, thanks for your help, it looks like I will have to get a kit from America. Thanks again Pete tractorman.
