I'm just off to the workshop but I thought I'd post this up first

Today I collected this rather sorry, engineless Huskvarna. Straight of the trailer and onto the bench. Started on it at 2pm and by 6pm I had the parts I want. The gearbox is a 6 speed and I believe you can change on the move. The wheel is being stubborn to remove, so has been give a good does of releasing fluid.

The 1254 is the first Bolens I ever bought and I owed it to the old girl to get her up and running. My mate, Daniel, offered his services to get her going. He made up a new loom a while back and thanks to Rick I bought a fuel tank off him and from Brian some belts and coil. Another contact in the States, Alain, sourced me a set of stators. I am really chuffed to hear that it is up and running, albiet briefly. Daniel informed me that "The head gasket is leaking oil out and over the exhaust manifold, i suppose this is good and bad, good that the oil is circulating the engine, but possible the rings are gone for there to be oil above the piston? The carb isn't leaking on the joint as bad but i have been turning the fuel tap off so it may do if left long enough, it is dribbling past the float, and from the adjustment screw, but nothing to loose sleep over."

I helped him woz

iv never seen such a great paint job done with rattle cans......absolute credit to you..

So is it going to be a Wheelvarna or a Husqhorse Norm ??

Thanks Chris. Thanks Norm. Ta muchly paul. Thanks Ewan. You did have a rather large grin on your face Norm Today has been exhausting.... Yep, it's sort the pipes day Once all the extras for the non working flame/smoke making system had been removed the pipes looked a lot cleaner. Only these two holes to sort out.. That's better, just the welds to clean up.. Out came a spare muffler so I could measure out and make something I've been planning to for a long time.. Before the photo's a big thank you to Nigel for helping out with the exhaust wrap, a nasty itchy job that left us with itchy black stained hands! So thanks again mate
