Hi All
JW=B2 pointed me to this newsgroup. My name is Michael and I have just bought my first stationary engine. The engine itself is in good nick but carb and magneto are basket cases. I will probably cheat and use battery ignition as a magneto rebuild is too expensive. The butterfly valve in the carb was solid and broke when trying to free it. I might be able to make a new one. Needle is severly bent. I might also be able to make a new one (I have a lathe) but don't know what the thread is. Besides, coming from the continent all my taps and dies are metric.
I someone has an affordable carb in working condition I would be interested in hearing from you.
I someone could point me to a source of gasket material to make head gasket from I would much appreciate that.
Best regards
Michael Harpenden, Herts.
