A Follower of this site in Ireland, who is not a member, Richard Duffy, Points out that the change of plug cap probably meant that there was a Resister in the other cap, and that a resister must never be used in a Magneto ignition system, also that the plug gap for use with a magneto should not be more than 18-20 Thou. as any more can lead to the spark jumping the safety gap in the Magneto, also to use only Copper core cable for the ignition. sound sensible advise to me.

Excellent, just out of interest, what machines do you have the receipts for? What machines are they, how much were they, what year was that?
My uncle seems to recall the story of our ransomes being £135 in either 1937 or 47, still haven’t properly identified it.

Having owned an MG6 for about ten years some 35 years ago, I started my collection of machines when I retired 9 years ago. I have a number of machines that were purchased new by the previous owner in some cases I have the original receipt .

Well, YouTube has failed me (brings up blackhead and cyst removal ! )

Any links to manuals or step by step guides. Not found anything myself so far.

hi all , i have just received confirmation that the event had 10,000 visitors over the weekend

[vhgmcbuddy]

well, The correct bearing is available from a company in the UK at £88.00 + VAT! also found it in the States for $66.00 plus P+P so probably works about the same, It is actally the spindle with the bearing all as one integral unit, so, I got Two 16mm X 27mm ball bearings and an “oilite” bronze bush that I turned down to fit in the middle of the two ball bearings to take up the space, I made a sleeve to take up the slack in the casting as you suggested, and BINGO ! It Works fine, and did not overheat, all done for less than £15.00.

Have a ratch through your bins Neil and bring along some oddball parts they are always interesting.

[vhgmcbuddy]

I maybe interested depending on price & where you are please

[vhgmcbuddy]

Thank you expeatfarmer and Neil, any idea roughly when they changed the running gear, just for future reference.
So maybe my serial number is 2523, that would be somewhere about right.
Has anyone tried macro etching or using dye penetrant to enhance a serial number? Both techniques are non invasive so wont affect anything, i just happen to habe got some more cans today for checking a casting i had in at work.

[vhgmcbuddy]

Thank you eveyone for your imput i think that alan and trusty220 are correct and also will- haggle i will take you up on your offer just need to get some pics off the owner
