Angus , for some unknown reason mine has been disabled also , I used to be able to message…….but no longer.

Another result then , Bantams are great little machines IMO , I have two , and they get used very regularly.

A 400 should have 400.12 , is it just the tyres you need , or the wheels themselves.

James , best to follow Charlies links , a picture would probably explain matters clearer, or even better post us a pic of your machine.

The rotors on a 220 are centre driven , and side driven on the Bantam , both share almost identical handle bar systems.

I would go for Miller , in which case they have long been obsolete.

I also looked at it at Stanfield , for me the jury is still out deciding whether it’s an original production machine , a prototype , or something that has been very well “home engineered”
Personally , I’m leaning toward the latter two of my thoughts , the hydraulic pump , and certainly the pipe work , hardly seem man enough for the machine , I just couldn’t imagine pipe of that diameter permitting enough flow , and this coupled to a very small pump , with no form of cooling the oil.
I , stand to be corrected over this , and really hope some concrete news turns up.

Change of plans means I will be there , just loaded a 700 into the van , looking forward to seeing some of you there.

Top job , it sounds as if your concerns are over.

Take the coil to your local(reputeable) garden machinery dealer , he should have a purpose built ignition tester , have it tested and go from there.
Coils simply cannot be tested properly with a multimeter.
My money is , and always has been a duff coil.

Andy.

[andyfrost]

You say you have done a “strip and rebuild” of the magneto , but have you actually had the coil and condenser properly tested , spinning it with a drill will not directly identify your problem.

Andy.

[andyfrost]

I would say Landmaster.

[andyfrost]

Have you still got the ID plate , it should be on the inside channel of the handlebars giving model and serial number.

Andy.

[andyfrost]

If I can make it , I’ll probably bring one of my 700s.

Andy.

[andyfrost]

Is it OK to just turn up on the day.

Andy.
