Default oops

Sorry to hear that Tim, it's the reason I let my Stuart go in the end (with a spare engine)

My engine failed in a loud, spectacular and flame shooting manner in front of hundreds of spectators at a veterans reunion here in Western Australia.

Not a very nice experience at all...

Cheers and good luck

Phill

Malfunction = Much noise and a large vibration.. drove straight back into the shed and switched engine off.. Then unloaded a crew of Max's canadians.
We have turned the engine over with the crank, either a piston or a conrod I think is the drama

Sorry, Tim, but can't help with any parts -(only Guiberson NOS bits) should be still a few motors around in Aussie.

I just phoned them and the chap to speak to is in on Monday. www.rrservices.co.uk/ Aparantly they have spare engines and parts. Tim I can phone him next week if you want. But in view of the distance for shipping it will pay to scour Oz first. Ron
