Quote from: MartinyOh dear , it wont start. No compression on front rotor, 4 bar max on the rear.

This is with some oil down the carb, too! :-(

So , I have to rebuild it. It lay in the shed for 3 years, and it was lying somewhere else before, that, so I guess I was optimistic expecting it to run?

Can I still make Retro show 7th July?

Do miracles happen:Hammer I\'m looking out my window as I type this Martin and I\'m sorry to say I dont see no pigs flying over head :Giggle unless you meant july 7th 2008

YES U CAN, get a 1st gen off ebay and use its engine in the 2

Might be quicker, but I think I need to try and fix this one :-(

Thought I had a 54 socket, but alas, it only arrived today. Jason is correct, its unrealistic, so, Rotorstock next goal.

You\'re not a million miles away from me, do you want a loan of a 12a?

Martiny · June 26, 2007, 07:15:29 PM

That would be great, I am away this week till Thursday, could I collect Fri night by any chance?

mullins · June 26, 2007, 07:40:39 PM

Well, had a chat with Mullins, it would be great to borrow the bridgeport engine, now all I need is a radiator!

Johnathan was going to supply me a radiator and an engine - just trying to arrange a time to collect, thats all !

Thanks for the interest, bud!
I have spent many a weekend replacing the engine in the FD, so this project has been on low priority, early next year, watch for more progress !
