Rapid acquisitions! 2 posts, the first of a manky engine, the second after pressure washing.
Michael's notes follow:
"The engine I bought off fleabay arrived this morning, it was exactly as the seller had described,
pretty tatty looking but you could tell it wasn’t quite as bad as it looked under the grime. Here are 5
photos of the offending item. I think there’s two before and three after it had undergone a quick
degrease and wash. It’s already come up to a reasonable finish. I am just having trouble with the
bottom bolt in the front mounting bracket, seized solid it is.
Once I’ve removed the troublesome bolt I’ll give it another good degrease and wash. I ultimately
want to strip it, check it all over internally, refresh it and have the casings re-coated. Sadly the
bloke I used to use is now retired. So if anyone knows of a very good/decent engine builder please
let me know👍🤞
Frame, swinging arm, wheels and a few bits and pieces are now at the blasters getting......eerr. Blasted 😁"
