Ted that all sounds exhausting! (somebody had to do it). Sounds like you’ve done a good job there bike is starting to look like it’s about ready to roll. It’s a shame when parts are made for a specific model that they don’t fit correctly, especially going to the expense and trouble to produce a quality replacement.😡

Good work there Ted! Had to do similar work on my replacement shoes on the 550 except they weren’t binding when fitted.👍

Check the thickness of new gasket compared with old and the difference then added to standard o ring thickness.

Agree, there’s something calming about hearing and watching them ticking over. The governor regulates speed from 375 to 475rpm. Further improvements/repairs - the small end bush needs replacing. Magneto needs. Bit of cleaning too. Was thinking of the local shows indeed Ian. I would love to know why this engine was sitting in the loft connected to nothing. For some reason it was replaced with a Lister 4hp which was still connected to the old mill until late Dec 2021. It is now in my care as well. The last time the mill was used would have been around the mid 60’s. So it is at least 60 years since the Fairbanks ran.
