WWilkinson Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Hi all, it must be Quad season... Having lurked around the forum for a few weeks, it was time to "come out" as I've recently acquired a Mk-2 Morris C8 Quad. Looking forward to getting my teeth into it (possibly literally, on the electrics) and first job will be some form of roof & bodywork - the domestic goddess has not granted blessing & boon on this particular project... :blush: Saying "but it's sooo much smaller and practical that a steam loco - and we can take the whole family to War & Peace in it" was apparently a mistake. Perhaps the "but it's 4-wheel drive and can get the kids to school in bad weather" didn't help. There are a lot of experienced folk here on the forum - I am really looking forward to your sage advice and assistance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grasshopper Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Ah Will, breaking cover! The advantage with the steam engines we play with is they're not our problem to fix if they break! Vince Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWilkinson Posted October 17, 2013 Author Share Posted October 17, 2013 ah - Vince, there you are :-) I did a whole week in the workshop, muttering about bl**dy crews who ruin injectors: as I stripped, cleaned lapped & re-fitted the water feed valve. Then went out firing it for a day and muttered about bl**dy workshops who can't stop steam blowing-by! Ah Will, breaking cover!

Grasshopper Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 178's injectors were a dream yesterday, didn't even need to look out of the cab to check it. Picked up first time, every time :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
