Hi All
Just nipped down to town to pick up the proof copy of YSaith (The SWA7 club magazine, “The Seven” in Welsh). Collected an admirer outside the print shop....
“Lovely....does it have an electric starter?”
“Yep, just 6 volts but it wizzes it around quite well”
Pushes starter to be accompanied by horrendous grating noises.
“Oh it will easily start on the handle”
Several goes later I remembered it was still on full advance...
Embarrassment!!
Back home I found the starter housing loose, the 5/16 Whit bolts having pulled through the casting. Luckily I managed to Helicoil them in-situ.
Cheers
Howard
