VERY sorry not to have got there. Life took over at the last minute. Will try much harder next year, promise!
Can those of us foolish enough not to be there know what Charlie’s mysterious exhibit was?

Hi, I’ve just noticed your rotovator has the pick tines attached, do you have any spare to sell?
One would do for me to get dimensions from.

Best ‘regards
Ian.

Yeh i held the choke on for a while and it ran for a bit but did the same, i unscrewed the jets in the carb and you could see daylight and took the float out and cleaned the whole lot but i cant think what it could be where may i have missed in the carb that could be the issue?

Stick your hand over the back of the carb (to choke it) and see if it still does the same.If it keeps running you need to clean that carb (Zenith ???) more thoroughly.

Thats great Dave, looking like its only Sunday for us now as had no time to sort anything.

Will bring something which starts & runs

Is there enough room to tow a trailer with some passengers on the route?

Good to see another Atco Tractor appear, this tractor most definitely comes under rare breed!
Under the heading lost items of the modern world, I know a chap called Mr Wallingfield who owns the brochure and the manual for the Atco Tractor printed in 1932 which was the year of introduction

If you mean the tank is full of rust and rubbish, I cleaned mine out by filling it with acid for the day, totally rust free, the copper gauze filter on mine was damaged so I replaced it with a wad of thick felt, it,s easier to add an in line fuel filter, they are very cheap, and you can see that fuel is getting to the carb.

I have a spare used head gasket which if annealed will be fine, Neil may have new ones they are solid copper about .75mm thick.
