Your welcome mate, your grin said it all You mean the throttle has a peg on it? For your viewing pleasure chaps, here's Nigel, Norm, Chris and myself having a hoon about

Thanks to obtaining a workshop manual for the engine, I have sorted out the majority of the wiring on the honda machine. It now turns over on the key. Just got to heat shrink a couple of the tatty cables and wire in the extra stop switch. Ive also refurbished the carb.

it was quite funny when i took the landy in the ring i told the compare the landy had been used at greenham common on loan to the yanks to tow cruise missiles about and that the lesbians broke in and wrecked it, so i bought it of the m,o,d and restored it to its present state

A non pictorial update on the corrective repairs. The Shiny new Piston has been installed. Had to ease the fit of the Gudgeon Pin as it was tight in the new Small End Bearing. I had swapped the new rings that were in the engine over to the new piston. Turned over real smooth by hand and nice compression. Started 2nd pull, a small amount of fine carb adjustment made it run perfectly. Vibration issue sorted. Spent most of this pm installing the back up Cylinder (Reel) and Drive parts. Now back on it's replaced wheels (and rollers). Plenty of clearance now between the Blades, Underside of Deck Panel and B/Blade adjusters. Just the fine adjustment to the cutting/scissor action do, and they already look pretty parallel to each other. On the downside, The paint is lifting around the neck of the Petrol Tank !. Must either be a pinhole in the Soldered joint, or the paint/Fuel proof lacquer did not bond to the brass well enough. Repaint job . Had over yet again!, found that the 0.030" oversized piston came back with Standard size Rings fitted !!. Good job I took them off and checked them in the new re bored Cylinder for the spare engine. Ring gap should only be a few thou, not 0.125" !. You have to be so careful nowadays, sadly, it seems you can't rely on anyone. Now we have had some rain, I'll do a test cut when the grass begins to grow again.

The GT14 just didn't feel the same driving back to the workshop.ðŸ¢

Yeh we did too, Thanks for the blast on Why-not Ian, it was quite an experience

"We drove Why Not and survived"

At Rural Past times...

That's the trouble with e-bay. You don't really know what your getting until it arrives. I like to see what I'm paying for before I'do.

Nigel has gone and nicked my sandals and Andrew looks like Bolens Brochure on the RAM.

Fab photos Ian, maybe I'll make it next year

Yes, its working again, my Belts were too loose/seized up, and i put metalwire to the carburetors more gas-part to give more gas. now its working "fine". also i welded the pulley to a better place so the belt wont hit the support plate of it anymore .
