Amanco Hired Man Restoration - Part 24 - First run!

Hi all,

I managed to get the Amanco running for a short while today, not very well but running all the same. I latter found out that I hadn't put enough fuel in the tank for it to keep running....


The head will be removed and taken away to be brazed up, hopefuly that will sort the water leak.

To Be Continued......

It's alive saw it the other day. Got a complete top end for my Stuart coming. Glad you found a replacement head, it will be running in no time. My amanco has got a mind of it's own, but they are good old reliable engines. Looking forward to seeing another video good luck

Cheers! I think it was open about 2 turns here, so as a result it just kept soaking the ignitor and stalling the engine.....there was far too much oil floating about as well lol

Found a new cylinder head now as well...

@steamwally Yoooowww! Great, Phill, you just get used used to setting the needle. It probably won't be the same as mine but I open it one full turn to start it then back off till it starts to splutter and put it back a bit to run it. The 2T mix won't help!

Thats right, there is a bit of tinkering to be done but I hope it will improve a bit......
