    I’d go along with Darrens thoughts , It sounds as if it is too far retarded……is it running very hot ??

    Charlie , I’m guessing it’s an early MAG engine.

    Like you Charlie , I,m beginning to think some form of hydraulic bench is on the must have list.

    Peter , have faith , it won’t rain tomorrow. Commers pull and ride better fully loaded……..fill it right up.

    Another trip down here to get yourself another cylinder and piston. I did strip the engine down that we had on the bench , the piston had VERY minor scoring , but would easily clean up , I haven’t measured the ring gap , but will do when I get a few minutes to spare.

    Barry , to be quite honest , judging from those pics , it’s hardly worth measuring , it looks to be in a rather sorry state.

    That looks like an electronic module , ….throw it away. If John has overhauled your ignition , you should be away in no time , I take it that he has fitted new coil and condenser.

    The original type of pipe does appear at auto jumbles from time to time , and probably still available , but I don’t know where from.
    Basically any silicon type pipe will do the job.
    I did say that parts are not that plentiful , it’s just a matter of keep looking and asking.
    My spares , many new, have been built up over a long period.

    I have great memories of my Fathers Marshall driving his Rackbench , and another lovely sounding engine was the Petter atomic he had on a conventional sawbench.
