Looking good Mark, what's that hitch thingy on the front for?

chris i think that is for a stationary engine, since there is a fixed speed adjusting thingy if you look at page 9 of this you'll see: http://www.wheelhorseforum.com/files/file/2203-engine-kohler-k241-k301-service-engines/

done most of the reading this afternoon Richard

got my repair manual today some very usefull info in there, some not so usefull info. anyway here's the engine specs for you guys

the vid is on YT now, certainly looks good, but can it do a burnout?

quick update, I haven't made a lot of progress, pretty much none actually, but i ordered something that will hopefully prove to be quite useful with ordering parts and putting it back together i think it is quite a find, an enlish repair manual for a east german engine that's all for now

this maybe?

Motorised wheelbarrow

oh i love the light blue pickup that light blue anglia looks good too, v8 like this one?

i believe these kohler's have acr, that's probably why you can turn it by hand

i think the M.A.N. looks a bit odd in blue, they should be greenish

i've had another look at it this evening and when i was turning the crank with the mounted pully it struck me, i still have one of those thingies you put in a drill and put a socket on. so i made this the socket on the end goes here: now i spin it at a reasonable speed and we were able to get it to produce 3 whole volts, sound a bit week but atleast we know the genny still produces "juice" now, here's some pic's of the genny part

ah i thought it was something like that just didn't know for sure, thanks

if the genny part is still good then yes that's the plan, if that part is shot than i might be searching for a wheel horse to put it in

got some more work done on the engine today, found out why bits of the governer were floating about in the sump. the culprit is this little piece here: that little piece was behind the big gear you see in these pics: when we got those things out we thought lets see why there is no compression so we put some oil down the bore. still no improvement so off came this piece then this piece: which doesn't look too healthy and off came this lot it soon became clear why there was such little compression, the piston rings were stuck right in the piston as can be seen here: the piston pin(is that the right word for the damn thing?) was almost completely stuck in the con rod, turns out there are a lot of burrs on there where the previous guy that worked on it hit it with something anyway time for a cuppa and a to not get too angry at that previous guy that's all for now

Some bits of the regulator, took most of em out before the pic

the year on the engine is '81, so about 34 years old
