2 new engines

Here's a pic of the little Jap Dave's having the carb problem with.

Looks like a later 2S so I imagine that it has the Zenith carb fitted?

a freind has got hold of it along with 2 old seazed sufolk engines.as he cant get about he will mess with them.he was well happy when i told him to take them to play with.

Thats good news mate iam very glad you have not condemed her to the scrap pile it would have been a great shame

Dave just because you can't get the parts strait away just put it to one side you will find them in the end.
I waited 2 years for an igniter for an engine I was restoring ,and in the same week on e bay 2 come up for sale, I now have a spare.
Never give up that's what it's all about.

Exactly Jonesey, at lot of engines that come up for sale is because people can't find the parts so they say spares or repair, only advice I can give you Dave is buy perfect engines or get a bit of patiance to wait for the spares to turn up. It would have been a waste to skip it as is any engine, better of selling it for spares or breaking it and selling the parts.

a friend has it now along with 2 sufolk engines.he got the 2 sufolk engines running sound a bit ruff but at least thay run i just never got round to doing them as next doors brother gave them to me he is about 67 years old he did have some nice engines.but the family got rid of them from uder him.unfair.or wot.

Dave just imagine you had an engine that needed a list of parts like this,

i would leave it ware it stood or layed.i do like my engines with all parts even if i do need a new set of rings or set of gaskets.

I understand Dave, there's different types of stationary engine men, some that like a challenge of finding/making parts for engines, some that don't mind fault finding and repairing (me), some that enjoy painting and polishing and some that buy them all done and only want to put petrol in. At the end of the day were all a bit different but as long as we enjoy it that's the main thing.

dont get me wrong i have bought some engines in boxs.i would love to make some parts but cant use a lathe due to epalepsy.sounds daft but spining objects sets it off.so why am im playing with engines i just dont stair at the wheels.was going to to the stand for the r2 today but the car is off the road so haveing to guid my son how to change the shockers on it.i would have done it my self but trapped nerve.
