Andy. thanks for the advise. I am going down the road of getting a carb recon kit and although I have blown the carb out with high pressure air,all the new bits in the kit will add to hopefully things been correct. when this has been done will give it a try on the rope.I am also going to grind the valves just for good measure. will keep you posted on results.

Just starting to collect bits, hope to start restoration in a couple of weeks once I have finished my Blackstone ‘No trouble’ engine.

A question about insurance. How do you insure a ransom MG, obviously not road registered but if you drive it around a rally field surely it must need 3rd party insurance?

[vhgmcbuddy]

Is it a cork tube you need or large felt washer??

What model Allen scythe do you have??

I maybe able to help if its the large washer

Ok gareth and angus looks as if the engine has had a a lot of work in the past time for a major rebuild.

[vhgmcbuddy]

it does appear to be an N Briggs. If the makers kept up the original numbering system, the tags serial number comes out to one built in July of 1942. To verify this is the correct yr, Briggs always stamped the last 2 digits of the manuf yr on the back outer edge of the flywheel. You should find a small circle there with a 42 in it. This will also work for their model 6 and 8 engines.
