  17. Spent a bit of time on the engine today, Cowling primered and painted, points and new condenser fitted, flywheel fitted, coil refitted. Its all back together and had it running for nearly an hour and pleased it runs so well. I will do some PHOTO's for you tomorrow when I get it out of the van

  19. Happy birthday mate, hope you have a good day.
  20. Had a spare couple of hours today so I stripped the front of the engine and flywheel, removed the coil, condenser and points. Points look good so they had a good clean then I went over the mower centre to get coil and condenser checked on jonathans machine, the coil came up good but the condenser came up duff. happy to pay a fiver instead of 55 quid. Hope to get it back together sometime this week
