Thanks Darren, have got the engine running but didn’t want to try the rotors until I’ve replaced the gearbox oil. Want to restore it eventually but have a job for it this year. The only other rotavator I have is on the back of my bolens tractor and that’s too big for the area I have to do.
I have contacted a seller on that we’ll known auction site who says he has a manual. He’s hoping to list it in the next couple of weeks. He might also have one for the Minor.
Regards
Shaun

Hi Shaun
I would also like a manual for the Minor…… Unfortunately I haven’t been able to.find one either. I used straight sae30 non EP in my gearbox, there is a filler at the top of the gearbox……. I cant remember if there is a level plug or not. But there is a drain plug/bolt on the lowest point of the gearbox.

Got a face covered in oil spots! Great times!

Commonly known as Marshall Measles !

My all time favourite two stroke is a field Marshall tractor at tick over. I could listen to it all day long. When I was 14 I spent a couple of days working my fathers one in the field. Got a face covered in oil spots! Great times!

Cant beat the sound of a 2 stroke diesel :).

Personally my all time favourite engine fitted to a gem is the Hatz diesel. I’ve used both a kohler and a Hatz for many hours when I was younger and can say without a doubt that the Hatz really suited the job in hand. I love the quirkyness of the Sachs and when running it sounds really good, but can understand with my athritus in my hips why some older people may find them hard to start.

another thought is petrol running down pipe or above connection if flowing between pipe and union cut off end of pipe and use brake pipe flaring tool to put new collar on pipe Dave

[vhgmcbuddy]

two possibilities one thread on union or carb stripped two fibre washer between pipe and float chamber Dave

[vhgmcbuddy]

This is a picture of a spare carb I bought it’s where the pipe bolts underneath is where it’s leaking from.

It’s an Amal 124 I’ve changed the fibre washers between the bolts holding the bowl onto the carb body but it’s leaking from where the pipe bolts underneath the float bowl.

Hi Gareth picked up a sachs diesel (engine only) a few months back so looking forward to following this one. The previous owner gave up on trying to start it and replaced it with a kohler . Yours looks to be in good shape .

[vhgmcbuddy]

Thanks gents
Im off to find me a few cambelts tomorrow, first things first the strip down

[vhgmcbuddy]

Hi, somewhere I have got a manual for both but at the moment I’m struggling to find them.
For the tyres pop down your local garage and ask for some old cambelts, that they’ve changed. Turn them inside out and get a good contact adhesive to bond them to the rim. Almost undetectable from the originals.
