Roland,

Having read his piece I feel inclined to put him right on a few non manufacturer points, I have just spent three nights in a hotel in poormouth that had no computer access and this would have been just right to pass the time.

The joys of the internet - the infinite number of monkeys analogy is appropriate here. I'm sure the comments made will become useful in the future when conjecture and hearsay become legitimate sources for serious research... Until then I will continue to seek the advice of those people who have gained a reputation for accuracy through years of research and experience.

Regards,

Dan

I shall not show my higgorance by commenting - not my thing at all. I shall, however, follow the thread with interest.

I wounld'nt waste your time Martin, he is the one who was adamant that Lister D head studs were BSF based on the asumption that because the later diesels were then the D had to be.

If you want to laugh or maybe cry at some more of there ponderings read from about 1/2 way down on page two on the way a Bamford tulip top carb works.

How does it work? I know nothing of Bamfords, and not really anything about old stationary engines. Is this a surface evaporation carb (wicks?) I've never seen one of those "out in the open" like that. Or is this talk about "suction" just an Autovac type arrangement as a fuel pump? (seems unlikely, given how easy a gravity-fed tank is).

Try Wikipedia. 8-( It's an infite number of monkeys, except that some of those monkeys have elected themselves to be gorillas.

Andy, I don't wish to right him right, more to have a play. Childish I know but now and again you have to get it out of your system. Whilst we are on the subject please pass my applauds to your son mike for an excellent piece of work this month, I have one tiny critism though and that is the fact that your and my good friend Mr Howden does appear to be getting a lot of mentions of late :-))

That's probably due to the fact that I have spent the last 18 months indulging myself full time with the engine hobby - now I've got a job I seem to have a lot less time to play with toys :-(

Dan

Job? I remember a time when I had time for one of they ........

Surprisingly in view of the overweening self-belief and hubris of the author this piece has now been removed from public view. Along with another section wherein this thread is discussed it now requires a member to log in. Happily this means that the veritable cornucopia of misinformation is now accessible to only a limited audience.
