Hi folks,
A couple of months ago I advertised a Petter A1 engine and Manus milking set for sale. They're still available, so here's an updated advertisement with pictures. I had always intended to restore these, but now probably won't find the time, so I'd like to find them good new homes (not breaking for spares!).
The engine is serial no. 1526600. I tried to get it running in the past but couldn't. However, I couldn't find an obvious problem with the engine. Apart from a lack of paint, it's in good order and the rust is superficial. It turns over smoothly and is complete with the starting handle. I suspect the magneto needs work, although I have tested the magneto coil and it's good. The fuel tank and magneto are currently removed, but I will be happy to refit them. I think this engine might suit a young person who wants an easier restoration but likes painting.
