I have bought a box of good parts are missing the two rounds bed bars and I'm not sure what else yet as I'm giving things a clean with the oily rag and making sure all's well before I move on. Motor/headstock/drive belt/tailstock all good after some fettling A couple of questions for you good...

Just one more and I will leave it alone Its not a vintage Rolls Royce If the cylinder was fill of oil - when you try pull the starting cord it wont turn round as the oil would stop the engine turning which is why I said give it a few pulls without the plug in any large amounts of oil will be...

Dont worry about odd bits of oil in random places. So now the spark plug is out I guess you've pulled the starting cord a few time and the cylinder wasn't full of oil, the plug is now back where it should be and the plug cap is back on the top of the plug (might be a bit of a push).

Hi dickm If you want to go even further down memory lane --- I will be selling my Minor complete with various attachments and manufacturers stand/cabinet. :) cheers

Tyme Cub 5/8" post and about 2.5" from bottom to tool rest bar

aha we now have 2 members with similar names

And another person with not only a large tin of those - I will need it one day - but also 2 plastic buckets over full must get another. The trouble is its more grief emptying out a bucket full to find that thing but then the problem is getting it all back into the bucket/tin!
