Just came across this interesting 1943 academic paper on oil engines - including an anecdote about running a McDonald diesel on cream, of all fuels!

There was some lag in the maggy due to great magnets and aging couplings so I thought I would nudge the timing a little on the advanced side to take this up a bit.

I took this time out to make a few much needed gaskets and replace the hose clamps to the tank, still have a couple more to go and new hoses of course but she's good enough for now.

The fuel tank leaked waaaay too much but half a tube of Metal Epoxy has completely sorted that, for the short term at least.

A problem from the beginning was the amount of fuel coming out the carb and a very wet piston head when the plug was removed � but I finally got a tone out of her!

A few more cranks and I got enough action to crank in the fuel .. the more I leaned out, the better the tone .. my god � I've fixed it!!!

The rev's are a bit low and she sounds so much happier running a b it faster but here's some IHC action on my you tube channel � please enjoy

Thanks for joining me on this journey Jack .. now I can breath easy, I'm gonna check out the R&T mower
