antarkev

Hello everyone! I have had some progress over the past few months. I had successfully fitted a coach heater blower motor, I put air through 2 pipes down to the 2 mags thus putting a steady flow of cold air to each magneto. I took it out this Sunday just gone and it ran wonderfully. I covered about 20 miles without a beat so I was very, very happy! I am now looking for a spare engine, it's the meteorite petrol engine. Does anybody own a manual for this or know where I can get one? I want to say a massive thank you to everyone here who has been helping me and giving me their ideas, THANK YOU SO MUCH ! And finally... Does anybody know where there are currently any antar's for sale anywhere? Thanks again !

Hi Everyone Thanks for all the really helpful info - I'm answering on behalf of Kevin (I'm his daughter who found this site for him), just thought I'd have a look to see if anyone had answered, will pass on all the info and suggestions and keep you all updated on how things are going. Think we've got more info in a few hours than we have had in months so once again thanks. Regards

Hi everyone, I own a Mark 2 Antar which has the meteorite 204 V8 petrol engine. I've had this since July this year and have spent a lot of time on it. It was previously in a field in Dorset. I've got so far as to get it running and have had it too a few shows - will post some pics when I work out how to. Would welcome any help with the problem I have, it will run till warm and then cuts out. If you leave it to cool for about 10 mins then it starts up fine again, only to do the same thing when its up to temp again. Any ideas would be gratefully recieved as I have tried everything I can think of so far and have reached a dead end. I have'nt put what I've tried so far as I don't want to discount anything at all at the moment as I might have missed something on the way. I'm not a complete novice but I must be missing something. Kevin

Thanks for advice I'll do that Kevin

Hi Everyone My name is kevin I'm from Liverpool and currently own 2 Diamond T's and a Thorneycroft Antar. Been recommended to this site by various people - although I have to admit my daughter found the site for me and registered as I'm not very computer literate. I'm looking for any advice anyone could give me over my Antar, its a Mark 2 with a 204 petrol Meteorite V8 engine in it. It will run till it warms up and them cuts out. If you leave it 10 minutes to cool down it will then start again and then cut out again the same. Anyone with any ideas i would be grateful - been working on this for a few months now and just can't pin down what might be causing this. Regards to all Kevin
