That's a real find and you just HAVE to bring that one back to life. As you well know better than anyone, there is a big following for small stationary engines here in Orkney and probably spare parts buried in sheds. I'm sure Donnie, John (at Handest) and our new OVC chairman will know something about it. Shout if you need any bits machining. Looking closely at the second pic down on the lower right hand side - I'm sure you were wearing that shirt last time I saw you 🤡

Annual trip to Primark due soon Ian! 😂😂
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
You will enjoy doing a restoration job on that Johnny especially with the family history.
Matt_Harrington:
Thinking of your magneto, I'm sure young Mr Millward tested an old magneto by putting a strong magnet on the outside of a magneto casing to see if it would spark when turned over. I've never tried that myself but worth a go when you get there!
Is that tub full of debris from the engine?
Orcade-Ian:
Bryan will be right Johnny, BSF and Whit - my big Britool set (A/F as well) is at Leslie A's after the AJS work - you are welcome to use those when he's done - probably already. Not sure what happened to that big box of magnetos we cleared from the Watts shed in Stromness after he passed away. We shifted over 30 engines from there - some really rare ones.

Forgot to say, I have BSF and Whit taps and dies upto 5/8 if you need them Plus just a few CEI.
