Matt..you staying home this weekend then?????
all that work you wont have time for rallies mate....
glad you are making so much progress..keep it up feller...
regards,mike...

trust me mike if i wasnt at a rally i would be at home doing something with engines

The misses said once i have got this new shed built up its up and going full with engines she will not see me only when its dinner time lol

At this rate it will be running by Dorset that's if i can get all the parts by then .even if it means il be using rubber pipe into a petrol can !

see you friday mate

i know of a cheap camp bed and sleeping bag mate.....
regards,mike...

Great to hear your making good progress Matt, sounds like you shouldn't need many parts if any to get it running again.

Stu.

stu there will be a few parts i need , a mag chain , fuel tank , and a magneto oh and a set of piston rings but mike has offered to sort that out for me

Well not to bad for an engine in that condition, only thing is DON'T let Mike fit the piston rings he used about 3 sets on his Wolseley (I'm sure he'll get me back for that )

you would of thought 3rd time lucky wouldnt you .....

You'd think he'd stop snapping them but hay ho he doesn't know his own strength.

Stu.

He is just too strong for light work I guess!!

Pete.

Now that reminds me of a saying Pete, how does it go again, oh yes .... Strong in arm, thick in head....... Guess who Think I'm in for it now and it's all Matt's fault

Stu.

my fault ... i tell you what mike is the bad influence i have managed to buy another engine at kingsley and sell the WD2 . when i came back with a crank handle the misses said what have i bought now .......

That's just your opinion Steve, alto the white powder is for when all else fails

Stu.

I will pretend I am no seeing this conversation chaps!!!!

But, It may harm your defence if you do not mention, when questioned .................................

In my defence it's all Mike's fault

Stu.

Well the Lister has had a mishap , i tried to start it and i have noticed that it would not start due to the valves not closing correctly and smoke flowing out of the carb which would indicate the inlet is not closing fully ... On inspection found that the followers was sticking ... so its OFF WITH THE HEAD ! spotted that after the followers was out there was a build up of debris to put it in a nice way .... stopping the followers going the full travel . so guess i have to give the engine another clean out and degrease again ... and this time remove the plate on cam end .

i looked at removing the flywheel and thought this is going to be awkward ... I bought a proper gib key remover from a Claas dealer ...

One of these ...



Which soon scared they key out and hey presto a engine with a flywheel off !



Just got to take the end plate off and give a good clean inside . and resemble ....

Handy tool Matt I'm sure you could make them and send them out as xmas pressies

You'll have to lt us know how you get on with it.

Good luck with the clean out and hope it solves your problem.

Stu.

stu , would be akward to make unless had right equipment as it is head treated and hardened , and you try to cut a shape out like that with a grinder ...

Pete I had my head treated years ago sorry I know you mean heat.

I never thought about how awkward it would be to cut until you said about it. Although when I went to college on my apprenticeship we had to make stupid things only using a hacksaw and a file, made things like drill angle gauges out of metal, it pi55ed everyone off

Stu.

at the price they sell them for it wouldn't be worth all the aggro to try and make..shorly??????????????

Matt mine will be here in morning..what more can you ask for....
a friend says his is the best tool in his toolbox...but never lends it out..

im tempted to put on on eBay to see what it makes,mite be another money spinner....
