Just like to echo Steves thoughts here, good luck to the new marshalling team, we will be supporting the Smallholders event held the weekend before at the same venue, many of you will have received our letter of explanation, I am compiling an entry form for the display at the Smallholders show, copies will be available at the Christmas lunch on Sunday, forms will also be sent to everyone on our mailing list.

In the village Nigel! It was owned by my mate Simon who brought it at The Dorset Steam Fair years ago. Its listed on the Merlin Records with Kevin. Its been sat in a shipping container ever since. It was a runner when he got it.
We have been talking about a deal for ages but he wanted far to mutch for it so I left it.
The other week he offered me a better price so I went & loaded it up!!
We should be able to sort an engine.

Anybody got a 3 spoke steering wheel????

Shrinkpic possibly makes it easier but the facility is there in Windows – just right click on your image wherever you store it. Then click on “edit” and you get the option to reduce to a percentage of the original or to a certain number of pixels.
For general posts of images to forums I usually go to 20 or 25% of the original. If you are likely to want an unreduced image in the future I suggest making a copy a copy of the original and doing your reduction on the copy as once you have reduced an image there is a loss of definition if you enlarge it.

“I suspect if your engine does not start it has lost its spark due to standing / not used for a long time ??.If this is the case then the flywheel will need removing to access to the magneto (contact breakers and condensor).You really need a proper removal tool for this flywheel.Do NOT hit the flywheel or the end of the crankshaft with a hammer in an attempt to remove it !!.I used one of my flywheel removal tools and it was very tight on the taper !!.
The carburettor would need a thorough cleaning too i suspect.Where are you located as i could get it running for you.”

I’ve given the carburettor a good cleaning but still not running. When you say that the “flywheel will need removing to access to the magneto (contact breakers and condensor)”….what do you mean I need to do once I acess teh magneto? Sorry to be a pain. Thank you.
