Zapjack,

I am just getting everything ready to start to build mine, a twin 9" flywheel version with magneto ignition.

I have had a little more luck than yourself, and a couple of very kind people have let me have some photo's. I hope they don't mind me showing them to you.

BTW, I have sent you an email

Bogs I did take some pics of another Governed one at Ally Pally at the weekend but was not using my usual camera and they dis not come out , Was on Polly's stand so maybe they could take some pics for you.

Jason,

With the photos I already have, plus the build article and plans, I think I now have every area covered. I would like to thank a true gent called Chris Robinson for all the tips and other things he gave me, it will definitely make my build go a lot smoother.

Many thanks for the photo attempt anyway, it is appreciated.

All I am waiting for now is Rob to get me that special water hopper casting done and I will be ready, oh!, and of course, get the MiniMag magneto built. Which I should be starting sometime this week.

I'm just trying to help Zapjack on his way, as I think he is about ready to start making chips.

Thanks you very much for the pictures. That's something beter than the one what I have.
Now I understand the governor position.
I've just a bad news, guy's, at first I will start with US Red Devil. I'm really falling in love of the design of this engine.
Unfortunatly it's very rare to find "raw" engines like H&M of other American Designed Engines on old continental Europe.
But please th_wwp of you works on R&B engine
Cheers
