Time for generators

[ajaffa1]

Hi guys and Gals, it`s been a few days since I posted any progress, sorry, I`ve been waiting for parts deliveries. Incredibly I have received new oil seals shipped from the UK faster than parts I ordered at the same time from within Australia, where I live. The crankcase and gear end seals have been fitted and the flywheel has been re-fitted and painted. The Lucas starter motor has been stripped, serviced and re-fitted, no apparent wear on the commutator ring confirms that this engine has done little or no work.
Cleaned up and painted the Lucas dynamo today, I don`t think I have played with a dynamo since the 1970s but it looks OK and tests OK with a multimeter.
Stripped and painted some of the engine shrouds today, looking forward to getting the motor finished and moving on to the generator head and wiring.
Parts should arrive next week. A few pics attached for those too lazy to read.

G`day folks, finally some of the parts I ordered are starting to be delivered. Today the replacement seals for the push rod tubes arrived, the push rod tubes have now all been fitted, What a pr1ck of a job, the internal springs are very powerful and at full compression only allow about 3 mm of clearance, sore arms and skinned knuckles!
All of the engine shrouds have been painted and fitted, another pr1ck of a job. the shrouds have clearly been bashed about over the years so none of the holes would line up with the threads in the engine. I`m glad there is no swear jar around here or I`d not be able to buy a beer for months! 
So the beast is finally coming together, in the morning I will fit the inlet and exhaust manifolds and refit the oil feed lines. Still waiting on parts for injector pumps, should be here next week.
