Ok, good news I’ve got an excellent donor engine but the sad news is the original engine in the Alex will need a top end rebuild. No big issue I’ve sourced the parts but it just means if I decide to use the original engine it will mean more down time before I can try it out on the lawn. However in the interest of waiting so long to fire the old veteran up, I’ve to decided to transplant the ignition from the donor engine into the original engine and give it a crack.

Just doing the final timing adjustments and a check of the machine and will try and finally fire it up. Let’s see how I go?
