Identification of Gen-set needed

[Richard Farrant]

The clues to it being a BSA set are there in the picture, a Joe Lucas ammeter and the little plate on generator cover with 'WD Serial no' and generator makers initials on it.

Thanks all for the help.
So it seems to be a wartime BSA
I had a look the busted condenser's and they are date June 44.

The earliest reference found so far to war-time manufactured BSA Chorehorses is an exhibition presumably immeadiately post war where a Chorehorse is visiable in a photogragh. The assumption is that BSA manufacture started very late or post-war so if yours is definitly war-time dated you have a very rare example. Can you show the dates on the components which may of course be use of components still in storage.

Canadian models also have aluminum fuel tanks up to steel on british ones.

Hi Neil
I think mine is a iron fuel tank but will check,
here is the best picture I could get of one of the dates compnents.
The original paint i can find is a bit lighter and more dull than the post was sets I have seen
Cheers
