As already mentioned these engines are popular as many were made. It would be an ideal entry level engine for someone starting off in the hobby as they are easy to maintain  and repair. Definately worth putting some clean fuel in it and trying a start up.
The saw bench should be desirable for those who rally the engines. YES definately would need a guard around the blade and chain if being run here in Oz.
If it does start and run then that gives you a good start for a sale. The bench saw is another item hard to value, not too many on the rally grounds near me so no clue what it would sell for but again if its complete within reason and everything rotates that's a huge bonus. Try to find similar equipment for sale to gain an idea of value. If in a hurry think of a number and list it. Faceache Marketplace seems to be the go to sell stuff here as a first prefference. Also try contatcing  local Engine Club  to see if they or their members have an interest in it.

VP, thank you for the Christmas Greeting. Hope you enjoy your day as we have here don under.
As for torque values, proving you know the thread size and pitch use Google for all your torque settings. I have for years now and as it has turned out all have b een correct. Cant wait for your new project to start so look forward to your new thread in the future.

I have been retoring an Allen Oxford Scythe and have just finished th epainting and watching it dry at the moment. It needs to harden up for the tyres to be fitted back onto the wheels then it a simple assembly.

Its so much fun wh things are stuck solid. Had my biggest challenge doin g a McDonald Super Imperial Oil Engine. You name it, it was stuck and stuck fast. But I won.
I too had to work out what Aa Birmingham screwdriver was, all sorted now.

Yes, very glad you are well and keeping busy with life. Nothing now is cheap as it use to be, paint pricess here in Australia are crazy and I will soon need to buy some as Im turning a pile of rust back into being a box trailer. At least my welding skills are improving. Mind youy they could not get ny worse.
Never looked at getting some chrome done  but it too is something that you need to be siting down hen a price is suggested.
If you are harvesting your olives then this year should give  bigger return than ever. Olive oil here price wise has also gone up by about 400%. We always use it to cook but now its a luxury and a lesser amount is used. The shops claim a worldwide shortage of olives. IOf this is true then you will be able to ire tradesman to do the restoration and get the best quality of everything done.

thanks for the warning mate

VP, what a beauty. I so look forward to seeing the progress as it happens. That rusty seat will be an issue wihout putting hours of work into fabricating and welding. Dont mention rats eating wiring again please. It just cost us AU$930.00 to have a rat eaten 240v ligthting cable found and replaced in the roof of our 115 year old house. Could have spent that mone on fuel towing our caravan around ouir beautiful Country.
That bike is totally unheard of out here and I do like the look and style of it. No doubt with your skills, one day, it will be as beautiful as it was when new.
Cheers JG

You may have to Google Lister parts nearrrrr me  to find a supplier of gaskets and parts if needed. We are both in Australia and have a supplier of Lister bits n piueces.
Dont be concerned about your English, it is fine and way better than me trying to speak or write your language.
Years ago I found a workshop manual online using Google so you may get lucky and find one for your engine. Im sorry but I dont know if the specifications would be the same as a SR2 engine.
BOb may well have those gaps for you to check them out. I have a habbit to check them as soon as I can see them to check if they are gapped correctly or not.

Hi Rene and welcome.
If it was water cooled we know what the problem is but being air cooled the only thing I can think of is lack of free flowing air around the engine cylinders. Have you removed the covers to check there is no rubbish, dust/dirt stuck in the fins?
