Hi, does anyone know what size bearings I need to order for a Ransomes lightweight cylinder ends. I’ve measured them but I can’t find anything to match my measurements. I’m thinking maybe they are worn so I’m getting a false reading. Thanks

Thanks I’ll give them a call

Yes I saw those on EBay. The actual regrind is only £22 but it would cost me £20 in postage. I thought if could find someone locally I could save the postage.

Hi, does anyone have a spare air filter cover to fit the one in the photo. I may be able to get one from Australia but the cost would be prohibitive and that’s assuming it hasn’t gone out of production. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

If anyone in the Bristol area needs any wood turning I can definitely recommend this chap. Turned two new handles for £20

Sorry it won’t let me upload the photos for some reason

Hi, I’ve found someone to turn a new set of handle grips from a nice piece of hardwood. I would be interested to know whether you think I should stick to the original design ( as below) or go for something a little more elaborate

I haven’t had the engine apart and it ran before the spark problem. It’s a mystery
