Hello !
Some news ...After buying part of this engine on Ebay (see above ..)and despite the price (after taxes) and the lack of parts, I thought I could buy what is missing directly from Stuart!
But Stuart is really too pricey today and does not encourage "buying!
In addition, some foundries were unusable: too hard or friable.
Finally an eminent member of this forum kindly proposed to offer me the pieces that were missing. Many thanks to Phil.
When everything was put together and ready for use, I was able to entrust it to a friend who knew how to machine down the cast without problems with the right tools.
In the end, all I have to do is disassemble and paint the machine.
But is it really necessary? Finally , I like its raw and naked look.
We can hear a small "toc" that will be eliminated later on. it seems to me to come from a setting that can be improved . To follow ..
KBIO is happy to have brought this machine back to life, thanks to two friends who supported me in this project and proving once again that solidarity between Steamers of the world is real !
Thank you all and have a good day!
KInd regards.
