hi stew, if you pm e-mail addresses i can send entry forms to you

If you look at your photo 1106 you can see a threaded hole at the top of the carb. this is where your mixture control screw should be, it is a simple bolt, with a lock nut, this controls the mixture of air and petrol, yours is missing, so you must have a weak mixture, you screw it in to richen the mixture, should be an easy fix.

Are entry forms out now? And how do we get one/three , group of us are keen to go this year if possible.

Think the mark 25 is four stoke? I don’t no how to say this with been new on forum ,with rules (Charlie), but there is one on a well known online auction site. Yes it is for a different model,but I think it will fit.

Sorry if not aloud to mention said site

Just got the model and serial number of the engine and sent if off to Cummins. We’ll see what the response is!

Ray what I did was use a open ended spanner and ratchet when undoing the bolts and the roller was in situ.so I assumed which was wrong that I would put it back together the way it was undone. BUT does not work like that as I have found. so I now have some different ways to tackle the job and now I think it will go back with ease.

Angus what a collection I do like the tool at the end of your photos,you can tell that you have had this problem many times. thanks for your help.

[vhgmcbuddy]

Can you put the bolts up fom underneath instead?

[vhgmcbuddy]

Gamila welcome to the club. now we have quite a few collectors of these little wonders and we also have one member inparticular who runs the colwood register so that’s very handy. his name is steve and he goes by steve d on here. I would send him a PM from using the facility on this site. he might even see your enquiry and get in touch from that,but pm him.

owen I know a few but not the right ones for this. but with your three sugestions I am a lot wiser. thanks for the tips will give it a try as soon as I can get back into the shed.

I’ve used blu tack to hold nuts in spanners, stuck nuts on wire with Aroldite.
Had to grovel to the wife on a few ocasions with her smaller fingers. But I recon you know most off the tricks John.

[vhgmcbuddy]

Just tried to mount the engine yesterday and come across a slight problem. The rear engine bolts nearest the rear roller do not allow you to get your fingers in to hold the nuts. Even with a ring key its awkward as they fall through the spanner.Looks very much as if the drive roller will have to be removed UNLESS some body can come up with an alternative. Phil your big 34 inch will probably be the same so I thought I would pre warn you because this is bad design by ATCO and they should be spanked for this. ARGHHHHHHHH.

Is this a two or four stroke engine?

Hi
8 Acres is still classed as a small parcel,which bumps the price up straight away,whether steep slopes or not, the horse fraternity will come a sniffing, with their bottomless pits!
You really need to look into the deeds of the land,is the land registered and is the present owner also selling the entitle deeds so that you can claim for single farm payments.(These are different to land deeds)you say there is a river, then find out who owns the banks.8 Acres is not enough land to build without full planning permission.
There will be legal fees as well all though they are normally set for buyer and seller at £500 each, but normally the seller will want you to pay his share, so that is another £1000.
Check for services running across the land, is there any Lee ways,that can be another costly mistake.
So don’t know where you are in the country, but down here in Somerset,with our heads just above the plimsoll line,most land around us is under water but still makes in access of £15,000 per acre at auction,and small parcels making above £22,000.
But as they say its all relative and god ain’t making anymore land!So time to dip your toe.
Regards
Andrew
