Engines / Losing the will .....
« on: September 09, 2018, 07:58:34 AM »
After years of watching other lucky people’s engines, the (uk) Dorset steam fair this year is where I finally took the plunge...she’s all mine! 1959 petrol lister with pump set up.
Now it Should have been a fully working engine with just work needed on pump...a nice easy starter engine project for me..
Sadly not the case..
I can get her going ..just! But she’ll die after about a minute..I thought old fuel etc so drained , checked pipes and refuelled. Nope..not that!
I’ve cleaned everything I can see...changed spark plus , fuel, checked pipes, connections etc..
If you can sing it I can play it...is the scenario here
Talk me through what I need to check and I’ll try that next!
Your help would be greatly appreciated as I really want to get this little lady up and running!
