Hot weather!? we have a foot of snow here.....

Those little BSA's are wonderful engines, probably one of the best small engines ever made. The Villiers is a great engine too, very well made, they just have a habit of being awkward!

@steamwally The BSA's sure are chunky!, can't wait to get one open and see how their built..

I may have a look at the seized one today if I get time after clearing out the air-conditioner infestation I have at the moment :p

Breaks my heart to see all those compressors and condencing units thrown out !

@cheetawolf lol yeah I think I have around 30 MOT;s all up. and enough parts for a serious Tesla coil :D

I've been giving the electronics a rest for a while but i may try a Tesla coil some time.

I love watching the things you find, and seeing your shop. I have a love for old stuff people think is rubbish... especially fixable machines.  Cheers.

I love how you have a knife blade switch for you A/C in your shop but since its 24v its safe!! Why do they toss so many AC compressors i wish i had a few of them! my junk yard does not alowe people in too there yard for DAM inserance reasions they had some relly nice heating duct and they said no we can let you buy it,inserance reasions.

@Aussie50 Yeah sounds like there the 2 to go for. :)

Bugger, its a vz ss ute, but it should cart it no worries with the v8 up front.

As far as i know there just got the thick plastic tub liner then its full steel underneath.

Yeah they can weigh a bit, worked with one at school well over a year ago.

Ill have to try work this out really soon with the transport!

@mattyvt93 the 202 and 173 are indoors so I would recommend them above all. the 186 as you saw was laying in the rain and mud.

you'd get 2 on a palette in the back of a tradesman Ute, not sure about one of those flimsy ones like a maloo or SS. their not as big as the Jag 6 but still all cast iron and heavy.

[mattyvt93]

@Aussie50 Yeah i understand mate.

If the 202 is the best out of them all? if posible store it for a lil? if there is any spares around grab them too!

Im trying to picture the size of one again, but it aint happening, would one of these or two? fit in a commodore ute? I can borrow one in a couple of weeks!

[mattyvt93]

@Aussie50 Cool! no probs there!

[steamwally]

I will be interested to see what their like. They are really nice sounding too, and I bet once freed of they will go : )
