Hello Charlie,just seen your reply, could you tell me if the attachment manual lists the Drive belt type/size for the Scythe attachment.I have recently acquired scythe but it is missing the belt.
Thanks very much

Finally got a few minutes on the mg2 again today, still fiddling with the carb trying to make it leak free. I did however spot the engine number under the grime, TB 6135. Hopefully on my day off this week I should get it back together and make some real progress.

Still no luck findIng a replacement crank 😡 can anyone find something?
I have tried everywhere

[vhgmcbuddy]

I have managed to get the fuel pump off it was just a case of releasing the excess fuel button and then it pulled straight out so I will get that checked out and when I put it back together make sure that I bleed it thoroughly, thanks for your help.

[vhgmcbuddy]

If you have had it apart I would bet that there is air still in the system somewhere. It only takes a tiny bubble to stop an engine from starting.

[vhgmcbuddy]

It is about 2months since I had it running so I will give that a try. Thanks

[vhgmcbuddy]

I will have a look for the access plate. I agree with you I have never had a problem with it starting before. The excess fuel button is pulled out at the moment and does not return when I shut the throttle down. Thank you expeatfarmer

The engine does not have a glow plug just an excess fuel button. I think I will have to check the compression as I hadn’t thought about that. Thank you Neil

[vhgmcbuddy]

Hi Robert thanks for your response I should have mentioned that it is electric start

[vhgmcbuddy]

Hi,Just a thought,I’ve got an MG with that I have to crank it up to speed then pull the handle out which activates the decompressor

[vhgmcbuddy]

A bit more progress but unfortunately we have had some unwelcome visitors last weekend, going through our sheds and helping themselves to bits and pieces so I have been busy increasing our security rather than working on the ransomes.
I did whip the head off and free up the exhaust valve and now we have compression although I think in the long term the valves will benefit from a lapping in but we shall see. The carburrettor bowl was leaking so I decided to have a look at the gasket but that is held in with two rusty screws which refused to come undone so they are soaking in penetrating oil until the weekend. Once that is sorted out we can see if it will run.

[vhgmcbuddy]

Cheers Charlie. I will get in touch with them and see. Still might need a reasonable picture if they have not one on file.
