May be off topic, but what the heck! Found my CS 8/1 when a guy said "There's an old engine in my yard, and if you don't come and get it my wife will paint it pink
and hang her pot plants on it" Went round and found quite a tidy motor, just missing an injection pump. Loaded it up sounding suitably grateful, and thinking I knew where
ther may be a pump. Checked out the remains of a very derelict 12/2 I had seen, and yes, one rather siezed and sorry looking pump! With much patience it was freed and
cleaned, fitted, timed end primed,and Bingo---- ran like a new one! A little cosmetic work and it's now a tidy unit. Later had the good luck to buy a dismantled VA at auction.
Turned out to be complete with SOM alternator but no remote starting gear,and in great condition, so I now have the brother and sister pair in the same series,one aircooled
and one watercooled. Sometimes you just get lucky. Regards, Combustor.
