That could be where the prob is thinkin its a fuel adjust.In talkn to others about alot if them dont have the comoensating jet,my setup has a #45 slow jet.so wondering if this setup doesnt require other jet.noboby seems to have the c1048 soec carb and no info on it either,although its very similar to other carb setups,thanks for the air screw info.Only kits on this side of ponx are the massy ferguson carb setups,and every place icer seas are out of kits for petter carb kits.

Unfortunately I’m unable to open the file that you’ve posted. Can you not just reduce the size of the original image?

Hi Andy
In answer to your thoughts, the truth probalby being something to do with the time they were given by the production company filming. Cutting cylinders are harder to make from scratch than a lot of people think. We’ve constructed many over the years and getting them right can call for a lot of head scratching at times.
Although 5 in total were made its the first one in the bunch, that they struggled with, the other 4 were commissions through Brian Radam of The British Lawn Mower Museum, a museum worth seeing and if Brian is there worth speaking to with his knowledge of the industry as he was apprenticed with Atco’s.
As I say we made our own cutting cylinder to make it more authentic but also to get over another flaw, the 17 inch Suffolk cylinder was too light in weight, which meant the distribution of weight was all wrong, the mower tended to tip backwards on its handles, so no good.
There is always something when constructing copies, that is never straight forward, as was probalby the same that Budding had when first inventing the lawn mower

I’ll have to reduce the size of the photo.

Hi there wristpin – thanks for your suggestion. I now realise that I would be looking for the complete tyne mechanism rather than just the gear. I thought had had kept all the bits bit apparently I haven’t! I have the tynes! Here is a photo of my cultivator as it is.

Not sure about Landmaster , but Flymo took over some of the Norlett models and sold them in orange. If you can post an image of your machine I will have a look through some of my Flymo parts manuals and see whether any bear a likeness.

Thanks Charlie – I think that would be the way to go but it does seem as if there aren’t many around now. I’m wondering if the Landmaster (which looks very similar) would be compatible. Maybe someone would know this?!

Any luck on the jet size

It’s a 24” Hayter Scythe with an Agricultural / forestry, compliant guard kit. We used to refer to them as “wheelbarrow Hayters”. Usually with a Mk15 Villiers which was mounted on two oak blocks to get the shaft height right as the height of cut was adjusted by raising or lowering the complete cutter spindle and blade carrier. Both sides of the swinging blades could be used by changing the twist in the belt to alter the direction of rotation. The machine was in production from 1953 to 1960.

Ok thanks

Hi the wire from the coil to the points isn’t long enough. Do have to use a specific wire or can I use a strand from normal three core cable?

[vhgmcbuddy]

Has it ever run in your possession ? Any chance of an image of the whole machine, I’ve only ever seen Champions with Briggs engines so presumably yours is an early model.
