this is the show combo for this year,but the belt length is way too long. can someone advise please.

[vhgmcbuddy]

Yes Rob, I am Drayton powered. I do put a zunder/ wick in when it has not been run for a while. Its not run since last year. Always starts well.

It will start with out in the summer which is good. Can put a few drops of oil down which helps

When I had my diesel gem that was a pig to start & kept flooding the wicks!!

In the end I had the injector recon & it was money well spent as it started & ran a treat

Shame I sold it!!!!!!!

Yep we will be there inc Merlin Keeper. He does not know this yet but hes buying me breakfast!!

Give me classic car a run down!!

thanks for comment as you will already know theres a lot of graft in a resto.But the finished product gives me a lot of fun.

Hi Geoff, we did notice the lack of pork pie but thought it would be rude to ask about it !!

Cracking show though, pity the exhibit area wasn’t a bit bigger, something for 2015 perhaps

well owen if you travel with wheels normally you need to take the roters some how,so like you say take the lot job done. nice to hear from you again.

I like your idea with the transport wheels John, I’m up for anything that makes life easer.

hi rob. thanks for the compliment,i have mentioned this answer before but what I do is manage my time,i.e if I get up an hour earlier than work I can make an extra 5 hrs per working week to get on with it. and so on. Now that pulley is the only reason I got the machine because you may have picked up on the fact I collect large stationary engines and old farm machinery which is flat belt driven.so rather than crank up a biggy this will be adequate to test speeds etc.

Nice little pump. If you google Pegson there are plenty of hits. Knew that they made big stuff, mucky pumps, rammers and big tracked crushing plant but was unaware that they also made small stuff. Don’t start it up and run the pump dry, may damage the seals.

Cancel above request.Problem solved – thanks

[vhgmcbuddy]

Looking good John, you certainly don’t hang about when it comes to your restorations. Anything I do seems to take years to get finished.
Have you any plans to try out that drive pulley?

[vhgmcbuddy]

I’m not sure John, see my thread on the Sachs engine. I’m trying to find somewhere to get them.

[vhgmcbuddy]

Hi Charlie, are you using some sort of igniter when you are trying to start it? See my Sachs thread, in the cold the best I could get was a puff of smoke without using an igniter.
Had it been running previously? The first day I went to look at my MG40 we could not get it to start even with the igniters. The seller and myself tried until we were both about to drop and all we got was some smoke and the occasional bark, you could tell it was close but it just refused to start. The seller said he would get the injector serviced, when I returned we removed the igniter holder and turned the engine over a few times, fitted an igniter and the engine started first pull over compression.
