Thank you for the link. I think I will have to leave the pulley on as it’s just not coming off.

[vhgmcbuddy]

Did you see my posting on your other thread ? The pulleys are still available from Merrytiller.co.uk. Cost £23.00.

[vhgmcbuddy]

Yes a brilliant show made all the more enjoyable with a crash course in Trusty driving. Thanks for taking the time to show me the controls.

Give it plenty of heat and use diesel to lubricate it (WD40 will not work as it simply vapourizes with the heat).Use a good fitting 3 leg puller and it will come of.Sometimes they come of easier when everything is cooled down.

If you are interested i have a few parts for a BJ engine including a very good crankshaft assy, a cylinder head (which still has the copper head gasket in place),oil pump assy plus a few odds and ends.Send me a PM if you wish.

As you have bought a new coil its a bit late for this but you may find it of interest.

When fitting the new coil just remember to set the air gap correctly!

I do have the pulleyt but, it’s hopelessly rusted onto the crank. However, they are available from Merrytiller.co.uk. Pt No. MT777/1 cost £23.00.

I live in wales so a bit far but thank you for the offer. I bought a new electronic ignition armature magneto coil but I got to wait until Monday to pick it up from the sorting office. Would you have the crankshaft pulley for the drive belt.

If you run into trouble getting a gasket for the British Junior engine, I made one out of 2mm Aluminium, use the old one as a pattern, I also did the same for my Jap 5 on the Anzani Iron horse, both work fine, to make a good seal, I always use blue gasket sealant.

AH Well, That seems to explain it then! Thanks anyway for trying Alan and Andy, I must say my lawn is as hard as concrete, But I have now restored a Titan GT , so I will give it a go with that machine and see, but I think it will need a Hell of a weight on the front to work, be interested to read the original instructions if they do turn up. Regards

Where do you live, are you anywhere near Swindon.

My old Wizard engine (minus carb,fuel tank & exhaust; borrowed for another machine) is lying idle in my shed. Is in working order (smokes a bit) but has a working coil c/w with magnetron unit. Would you be interested ?

[vhgmcbuddy]

Many mower repairers will have a pile of magnetron coils from scrap engines and one shouldn’t cost you more than a new set of points. Just take your coil with you as there are some small differences in the width between the fixing screws.

[vhgmcbuddy]

Thanks for the help chaps.

Gave the points a bit more of a clean and tested for a spark which worked. Put everything back together and got the engine fired up, had it running for about 20mins while I mowed the lawn. Very happy.
