  5. Well good and bad news got her running engine sounds sweet, so took the head off and I think I should be able to repair the split Broke stud of but should be able to get it out Then I knew I had a weeping core plug but on closer inspection showed some very odd , if you look where I have drawn the arrow some Cornish farmer has drilled a hole and inserted a screw?

  11. Done a bit on this today, now this machine is one family owned from new (1978) it lived on a farm down in Cornwall near the sea, hence the rot, So I started to strip it of panels ready for a wash, Now when I bought it I new it had a leaking water pump a side core plug seep and a leak on the back of the head, which I knew has a core plug there, so I gave it a wash and then found this
