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.
