Re: another to the collection petter
Kev I'm sure a good man like you will get it sorted, there's plenty of spares about for an A1 so you might as well fix it rather then break it.
Keep us updated.

Re: another to the collection petter
well only time will tell
ive bought it from a 13 yr old boy that has been coming to the rallys this season with albert his school mate
and hes latched on to me for help ,advice and booking in ect ect ,so hoping that they will carry on for a few years and drag so more young blood to the rally stationary scene
and alberts parents have taken to me well and even invite my family round for sun lunches ect
his dad has already asked me to sort his insurance and who to call for booking in at the same ones as i do

Re: another to the collection petter
Kev your a credit to the hobby helping these young lads just hope they don't loss interest to much once there hormones kick in. If it happens I'm sure they'll be back after a few years once the novilty wears off and find engines don't nag and with a wipe down with a clean rag can keep you happy for hours Although Kev will be showing them his porn collection, can't beat the center spread of the Brigg n Stratton manual right Kev.

Re: another to the collection petter
I could soon show them some pictures!......
Of what happens when you lose interest in stationary engines in your teens. It aint good....
& you find all the prices have gone up quite considerably as well!
Mind you, once you've been bitten by the bug, you never seem to forget it.

also the throttle link arm and that little guvernor pin from geared fly weights to throttle went flying into the canal,
worst of all the crankhandle was taped to the arm also so all went with a big PLOOP
when it was on its way up the towpath to my collection point for car

Re: another to the collection petter
Kev how many times have you been told not to play be water!!! Get a fishing net you might catch it at low tide.

Re: another to the collection petter
No chance of fishing them out then Kev? You'd be surprised what a bit of patience & a small net can do. I dropped my mobile phone in the Kennet & Avon a few years back, whilst working on my mum & dad's barge, we got it out though. I even managed to get it working again after drying it out for a week or two.
Most of these canals aren't very deep anyway, you just need to know where it went in.

Re: another to the collection petter
You might have to find out what a crank handle feeds on to stand a chance in catching it .
