Russell Gilbert in Oz posted this on the ATIS list. I thought someone here might be able to help him!



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ G'day all, I have started to pull my Petter Anglo down for a clean up etc for resto. It really is the first time I have had a proper play with it. Question to whom may be able to help. The fuel system seems simple enough. The governor controls the lever which lets the need amount of fuel into the engine etc. However the actual Fuel .,,,, injector?? drip feed thingy ( I will have to post a pic) does this simply gravity feed/drip the fuel into the vaporisor area?? Or should it have a sealed valve?? Does anyone else own one who could share some pictures with me? The engine in question is on my webshots in the My Shed album. I will add more pics of the engine over the weekend. any help would be great thanks, Russell Picture at

Jealous moi?

Having seen his engine shed and its contents anything I ever knew about 'Anglo's' seems to have evaporated!

Actually, I know nothing of these engines but I do have a picture of a smaller Handyman at:

if it helps at all.

Interesting. Looks 95% similar to my Handyman. Can't see enough of the vapouriser to know for certain about the fuel feed. On mine (1904), it really is the simplest gravity feed possible -- great, nothing much to go wrong. Just a question of sorting out the right fuel for the weather.

Need close-ups of the vapouriser. I'll contact the poster off-list,
