I have to confess I did think that might be the result, because the cam is on the flywheel. Could the flywheel have been changed at some time, do other similar engines have the can lobe in a different position?

Steve, how long ago were you last on the forum? Have you used this new one before?

If it is or can be made to run the Hayterette will be a useful machine for someone. The brass tag on the rh side of the ATCO will give cut and year eg 1458

It does look as if they have what appears to be the Mysto logo on them, the catalogue does not give details of make.

Timberjack, if you open the photo you posted that appears cropped you will see it is only the thumbnail that is cropped not the image that opens.

One for trading standards by the sound of it.

If you are getting some smoke it suggests the spark is making some attempt to burn the fuel. It might be worth fitting a new plug, is the one fitted the correct one and does it have the correct gap? I had a B&S engine with a lovely spark that would not start, a drop offuel down the plug hole and away it went and kept running, now starts with no problem. If it is a fuel issue it may well be a blocked jet in the carb. If it is blow them through with an air line, do not be tempted to poke a bit of wire through to clean them.

Chickens seem to love getting into strange places, our 2 always come and give the garage a thorough inspection when I am working in there, one even checked out my workbench.

Andre, the old site is only available to view. There is not a For Sale section on the new site and no plans to create one, all adverts appear in The Cultivator. Details of items to sell can be submitted via vhgmc@btinternet.com

Mechanised Gardening ceased trading a good few years ago. The VHGMC (me) hold what records they had for Geo Monro machines.

Should work as you will be turning down outer diameter and not inner which is where the shaft turns. Something in my memory says you need to be careful about turning oilite bushes on the bearing face, I think it can affect its oil retaining properties.

Looking good and sounding sweet.
