Re: I H TD6
Hopefully will be down to get the TD6 running soon.
Found a fantastic chap in Bristol that repairs magnetos for a fair price.Was very impressed with his facilities for carring out magneto refurbishment.Bench tested my mag after repair for 30 mins.
Got a good blue spark now.Just short of time

Re: I H TD6
Hello Martyn
Sounds as though the mag timing is not quite there. Never had to give my old TD6 more than a couple of swings.
Nearly 50 years since I rebuilt that engine. You obviously haven't had yours running long enough to switch over to diesel yet.
If you want a hand on the weekend ring me, it would be good to re-live the old days for an hour or two.

Re: I H TD6
Hello Fred
Rechecked the timing,it seems spot on with No 1 cyl tdc,and the impulse tripping on M mark for no 1 cyl on the pulley when rotated to M.She chuffed and tried to go today but ran out of time, and energy .I think it may be a fuel problem now.
I am around Saturday but in Carmarthen Sunday. the TD6 is not far from Barrys place at Capel Llanilltern.Send me a message if you want a play on Saturday.

A big thank you to Fowlerman for his help today.
Photo shows Fred cranking over as we took turns on the handle.Now you see him now you don't
