    well seeing as winter is drawing near it was about time i started thinking about those smaller teatime type projects such as the emblem i decided a while back to vapour blast the alloy deck which looks kind of space age i will re=paint the roller frames backflap and handle but leave the deck raw and lacquer it i reckon it will look just brill here are some pics of the stripdown

    well, i spotted this whilst trawling the auction site with no name and decided to have a punt and won the old girl she,s well ridden to be frank but the deck and running gear are sound. These are getting hard to come by these days, built like tanks and will cut most things here it will sort a better pic when ive got it in my possession

  14. rotoscytheben
    that sounds good i need a few other bits for it too the centre plate that covers the gearstick etc and the rear deflector that covers the gearbox its like a sump plate if you know of any of those bits please let me know

    got the carb fitted back on today it soon became clear that all the governor linkage and springs etc were in the wrong place they are all fitted in there correct place now i just need a new governor spring and that should sort that out then i will see if the ultrasonic cleaning has worked with the carb oh and i need to sort the rear tyres out they are done for here is another couple of pics of it anyway

    better with a sloper engine as you said nice buy though it will clean up well

    having been over to a fellow lawnmower repair man the other day in search of a new carb for the tecumseh engine unfortunately to no avail but i did manage to find a nos float for the carb and a good seeing to in the untrasonic tank hopefully will have sorted it i will fit it over the weekend and see fingers crossed
  18. rotoscytheben
    basket is there just not fitted yet
  19. rotoscytheben

  20. rotoscytheben
    managed to get a few minutes on this one today its finally coming together here are a couple of pictures there are still bits to be done and i am going to change a few little bits that im not happy with
  21. rotoscytheben
    thanks angus as nigel said very informative im now on the trail of a new carb for the bug. the tecumseh engine is staying for heritgage purposes
  22. rotoscytheben
    thanks for the feedback chaps good question nigel, perhaps angus knows the answer i will have to hunt for a tecumseh carburettor i reckon although, the honda engine is a nice motor to use some people dont always like them but i personally do a quandary me thinks i will mull it over this weekend i would guess the lower framed one would have been the first version since as angus said they changed some of the workings
  23. rotoscytheben
    ive been after one of these for a while now and it turned up today after a few minutes it was running briefly but the carb is knackered and i hate tecumseh engines so its going to get a honda lump very soon here are a couple of pics
