Hello J and greetings from Japan. I restored a 1948 All Iron 4G and i'm very envious of your Mk I (its a few years later than mine and just like "Amelia") Here are the basic steps :- 1. Go to Simon's Amelia Blog and devour every word. 2. Contact Draganfly (fantastic website) and get Spare ...

On Monday afternoon, the Japanese Brains Trust descended on me and they were convinced they would get the 4G running - aft...

Hello Folks Its Friday Morning and pouring with rain, plus I have a couple of hours escape from Domestic Duties - a good time to go into the workshop for more Ignition Torture. Game plan is Set Points. Retime CB & Piston Retime Distributor. This will be with the original CB Cam, which overloads ...

Hello
I don't have a drawing (or a greaser) but Draganfly Drawing of MN1E magneto 'almost' shows the extended part that engages with the distributor shaft.
Who supplied the greaser ?
