We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember tony sayer saying something like:
>Wonder if anyone could help please?.
>
>I've got a rather vintage, believed to be 1950 or thereabouts, Enfield
>diesel engine that drives a generator. This unit worked very well until
>recently when the starter motor decided to throw in the towel;!.
>
>I believe its an Enfield 85 HO2, a two cylinder twin horizontally
>opposed arrangement. The starter motor as dismantled is full of small
>bits of steel wire and seems rather sophisticated perhaps for its time
>being pre engaged.
>
>No one round here is interested in repairing it or rewinding it either.
>Its made by "Simms" and is a 512SG 1052 this company aren't to the best
>of my knowledge around anymore!.
>
>Does anybody know of someone who might be able to repair or who would
>know of a modern equivalent which would directly bolt in place without
>too much modification?.
>
>Any help gratefully received thanks!...
