Lets hope you don’t have to go out playing with your machines this year, other week they forecast the big blow and that wasn’t so bad.

John. Not a bad looking tug but bit square and uninteresting, I think a WH has a lot more caricature. I don’t think Frankie will be pulling planes again. I will try to find out more as to where Frankie was working it would be a few years ago. I have received the exhaust from USA more to follow on that. Bellow the hitch Frankie came with, easy to obtain a wheelie I would think.

I have a machine very similar to this but it says type 30 B and No is 13760.
As any body know how old this would be ? also it requires a Barrel and Piston and there is lots of play in big end , Magneto is also missing , should I give it up as a bad Job ?

Im sure a carb kit will help, however in my experience with small engines( I used to overhaul 3-4 Hondas or similar every day for several years)The valves need to be spot on or the carb is often blamed because they rely on the seats being good to create the vacum which sucks the petrol in. The exhaust valve is often by its nature a lot worse than the inlet, but solong as youve got a valve spring compressor should take less than an hour to relap them in.

will check that out gareth but when I first looked in the bore it did not look bad,but as you say will have another look when the head comes off. looks as if this engine is going to get some special treatment but I would like it to run but do not want to go overboard . Just gone out to shed and put my hand over exhaust while I turned engine over by hand and the compression feels good for a small engine,i now have convinced myself that the carb kit has to be the first expense.
