Just a bit of an update:
We took the engine to the Nuenen Stationary Engine show on the Dutch Whitsun weekend, we hadn't sorted all the electrics out, but it ran for three days off and on, the drive side was fine, the engine we ran up to 80 dec C then shut if off to cool down, the water tank was losing water through splashing out of the top and uncovered the top feeder pipe which stopped the circulation.
Going to re-jig the rotation of the Start-O-Matic unit to bring it back to normal rotation. It is at present running backwards to suit the 1ZHR's rotation.
We did forget to load the starting handle, so the Start-O-Matic starting function really had a good test.
Picture below of us as we left the rally field yesterday morning (Tuesday) to drive to the Ferry.
