They all look a bit sad but it was chucking it down with rain when I took the photos which always makes something look worse…

At least they are in dry sheds now !!

I had the hand throttle turned as far down as it would go,so now I think that the next time it is run to gently alter the govenor and get it to run more slowly. if I need more throttle I can always adjust manually on the throttle lever. Forgot to add the choke in the carb above surrounds the throttle slide from top to bottom. to operate there is a long rod which comes out of the top of the carb where the fixing ring is.

Well I’ve take the easy way out for the time being.
I’ve slipped an alternator on which I had on a shelf. Everything is as it should be (well charging at least).
It’s looking a bit lob sided but it will give me a chance to source a replacement voltage regulator.

Have decided to stop making a mess of the grass box and give it a coat of paint. when its dry will take outside and see what it looks like. if its very noticeable some filler will be applied to the most damaged areas. then repaint and look again.

I used office picture manager until my son said most cameras can be set to take smaller photos. Now I set to email attachment size 1m 1024×768, when transferred to the computer and they upload on here with no resizing.
