More progress. It ran for about 30 min tonight, on and off. I struggled with the mixture-I'm using a Colortune on no.1 plug, and I can't get it lean enough to show a blue flame, the mixture screw is as far as it will go. It's not far off, as raising the pin causing engine speed to rise slightly, th...

Got the sump, timing cover, backplate and head on now. Got the flywheel on as well, but having a job tightening up the bolts to 40lbft without the crankshaft turning.

I understand that is not a good idea to mount the coil on the alternator, electrical wavey stuff goes weird

After fitting an alternator I found that that space was tight on the inner wing and the king lead was a little short when I mounted the coil on the inner wing so I modified the old bracket that was on the dynamo to bring the coil out a bit. I fitted some spreader washers on the bolts after this pict...

Some differences to mine
