After rushing hither and thither and buzzing about like a blue-arsed fly for the last few weeks, I finally had some time to put the finishing touches to CPL. I put some 10:1 in the tank, and third pull and we were off to the races.
Just a big thank you to the forum for all your advice and encouragement, and in particular to Oyster for helicoiling the carb, without which this would still be a dead motor.
In no particular order:
Replaced magneto plate
Replaced engine lug
Replaced bent tiller arm
Replaced badly corroded throttle lever
new piston rings
Helicoiled Villiers carb
New centrepiece Jet for carb
New carb washers
Replaced water pump rotor
New crankcase and gearbox gaskets
New exhaust tube strap
New drive spring & washers
New thumbscrew washers
And not to mention the gearbox! and the drive tube and all the other difficulties that needs must be taken in stride. I haven't prettied this motor up too much, but I do have the satisfaction of bringing the moribund back to full working order. The dead shall rise again!
My CPL, officially back from the dead
