the showman 4,074 #3 Posted September 18, 2015 I did have it running with another mag on it but now it won't start although it still has a spark and fuel, Wondered if the timing has slipped but i can't find any marks to check it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the showman 4,074 #5 Posted September 19, 2015 Surley it would bang if the timing was out??The mag is chain driven and the sprocket is on a tapered shaft, I'll just have to keep moving it round and see what happens.Now i know why they call them hit and miss engines Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now i know why they call them hit and miss engines Will have to see if John can find the S/Turner manual I passed on to him years ago. He MIGHT still have it filed away in his strange storage system.

the showman 4,074 #7 Posted September 20, 2015 I'm ok with this now, spent a couple of days fiddling with the mag, cleaning and changing the points. Refitted and kept moving the spocket round and finally it started, had it running for an hour and it seems ok 2 Alan and Ian reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Charlie Smith 192 #8 Posted October 3, 2015 Is that off the chicken plucking machine? I really liked that, never seen one anywhere before, quite a thing to have! Glad you've got it running Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
