Stormin 4,458 #10 Posted May 27, 2021 Don't think that engine has ever had a decoke. What is the cylinder bore like? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anglo Traction 1,016 #15 Posted May 30, 2021 Very nice project you have there. Good machines. The top cylinder condition is very familiar to me from past experiences (and current ones). Certainly better condition than the sort I get. Keep to updates coming . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Blues Brothers 19 #16 Posted June 5, 2021 Here we are back at the workshop today starting to find out why we have no spark at the plug Started to remove front mask to get into the point Starting to remove flywheei Have now removed flywheel found more snail Here I have got to the bottom of the problem points dirty so whipped them out will clean them later.

The Blues Brothers 19 #17 Posted June 5, 2021 New points have been gapped new sparkplug gapped Started to rebuild front of the engine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Blues Brothers 19 #18 Posted June 5, 2021 now its time to see if the engine will spark and bypass the fuel tap and fuel pump needs cleaned out pipe work full of old crap That will be the next job to overhaul the fuel pump and tap leaks. Sparkplug is sparking now to put a small amount of fuel down plug hole Yes it offered to fire. I just tied a spare old fuel tank that was kicking about the workshop connected up fuel lines and it now running. That's enough for today still more to do the next few weekends 2 Stormin and Maxwell-8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rolloman 1 224 #20 Posted June 6, 2021 Hello Maxwell- 8 Welcome to the forum I am interested on your comments about the Gutbrod Tractor on here, this is one of 7 my brother and I own, I have had my own tractor since i was 14 and have found them fantastic little tractors. I use my tractors all the time also use them at Ploughing matches and have never found any weakness in them quite the opposite fact they seem to be unstoppable are you speaking from experience or some thing you have read ? 1 Maxwell-8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jarrovian 237 #21 Posted June 7, 2021 I like your comment on the Old Tank kicking about the workshop which looks remarkebly like my tank off my Kohler K141 T engine from my Howard 350 so do not lose it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could once buy a 312 and gutbrod with renault engine. It had flopping steering and floppy transshifter. Was the same as a WH D250. But apart from that, Gutbrod are good machines. Had my first riding mower when I was 15-16. And my first garden tractor (raider10) november 2020. I have 2 GT's and i am 19 years old. Hard to find affordable GT's in Belgium as most gardens are to small for one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
