Beautiful job, Richard. I'm interested to see how you do the horse.

Nice, professional work there, Joseph.

All the Best one and all. And here's to a much better 2021.

That's no fence. That there be a dry stone wall. Lot's of those in the north of England and not a dab of cement to be seen. They even run up the fellsides. Stone would have been taken up by pack horse.

Points were removed and cleaned up. No kill switch or wire evident. I'll take a look at the stator position. I have a friend who can maybe test condenser and coil. Could be a while before I can see him due to the virus. He and his wife have health issues.

The gap setting is on the cover. I'd just removed it and set it on one side. It was well tarnished and needed a good clean to read it. Gap reset to .020 but still no spark. I have cleaned inside the flywheel and the magnets are still magnetic. Duff coil or condenser maybe? Or is the timing out? I'll see what my mate says. Fix or scrap? He'll never use it.

Brilliant, Joseph. BTW. Another year or so and you'll be as tall as your dad. Merry Christmas.

All the Best for Christmas, to one and all.

Doing well, Joseph. I think you need to tell dad to get some heating in your workshop.

Thanks Angus. I knew you would know. I'll re-set it then see if I get a spark.

Can anyone tell me the points gap? The gap on the Gardenmaster 85 I'm trying to sort for a friend seem to be very close. Maybe about .010thou. Engine is an Aspera. ML30/91211. Serial No. 400286.

I don't think I'd worry about the letters that have moved, Richard. Doubt anyone will notice if you don't tell them.

'fraid SWM has been put aside for now. Parts supply/expense etc.

Excellent work there, Sir.

You've both done very nice jobs of them.

Very nice work, Richard.

With one thing and another and recently moving to a new property, nothing got done with the Gardenmaster. Today I went over the border to Duncs and the Gardenmaster came home with me, for me to see if I can get it sorted. No spark for starters. The afore mentioned photo copies that Paul sent Dunc, I forgot. I'll see if he can find them when over there next week. What I want to know for now. On a quick look I can't see any on/off switch or kill switch. If there is one. I'm assuming to stop the engine you just pull the throttle lever to the choke position?

Reliant Scimitar. Another classic favourite one of mine.

Good purchase, Dave. Looks brand new and unused.

I remember you mentioning the Triumph a while back. I'll be following with interest. The Westfield would really rock my boat.

A piece of paper?

S1g is the man for Howards. Refurbished a few. Not on here much lately due to ill health, but send him a PM. Also look up his rebuild threads. May be something in those that can help you.

Makin a really professional job there, Joseph. All the drilling and milling reminds me of my toolroom/machine shop days. Lucky lad to have equipment like that.

Mr Mad Mower or BobH have/had BUMA borer's. What's in the shed. Octobe 9 2016 . Look it up.
