This isn't Dave, it's his son, Andrew, writing from Telford. I'm visiting. I'm still pondering how to do those covers! Would anyone be kind enough to scan the relevant page of the Jan 1983 EIM article for me? -Andrew UK

Hell Jasonb. Thanks very much for the reply, that design of carb. does look the part! Do you have any idea where I might find drawings for that or similar? I'm quite happy to attempt the fabrication. Again I'm gratefull for any help I can get. David Curl.

That's a JABUS tool alright, only a variation on a theme, that time by my friend John Anning. Just like a capstan roller box, they're a complete pig to set! The principle is obvious, and you could easily make one in an afternoon. If I were to make another, though, I would make a series of...

Yep. Pater knows about that one.

Hello again chaps! The other question was about carburetters. We are talking about a 400cc four stroke, with a flyball govenor, designed to run about 800 rpm max. Stuarts supplied these engines complete, as well as doing casting sets, and they were buying in "Longuemare" carbs. You can buy these...

Hello Chaps! This ain't David writing, it's his son, Andrew. The story so far is that my Dad bought some 600 castings, which someone had started (badly) and he's gradually correcting the errors, remachining, and building it up. It' a magnificent bit of kit! He's self-taught but has become a...

Jo, do you have a contact for Eric? 'phone No., e-mail, whatever. Doing a search for the 600, the one that comes up from station road steam is for sure the set I have. The "known" party you speak of could be the gentleman I had brief dealings with a good few years ago, he was making patterns for...

My thoughts at the moment are to run on gas and petrol would be a "later" version as you suggest. My biggest concern at the moment is checking the quality of all machined parts (after the problems found with the valve box) plus getting the required info on valve springs; I've also got to source...

Mine was definitely via station road steam as per the search that comes up. the known third party would be a lead for me.

Always an option Jason, but I'd like it to look original if possible. Are there any drawings about for the carburettors do you know?

Hello Andrew, basically I wouldn't have a clue how to go about it, if you think it's a good idea you've got yourself a job chap!

Good morning all. I'm Andrews father who has the 600 castings; I bought it as a part machined set. The problem with the valve block is I figured out how it works, but the numpty who machined it has made some bad errors. First, the passage from the gas valve to the inlet valve was not machined...
