Sean N Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 The bracket is for a gallon oil can. That cage round the fuel tank is unusual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lauren Child Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) orange "brain box" something to with the aux. dynamo? [ATTACH=CONFIG]100755[/ATTACH] pekka It's the same regulator box as a Centurion tank. The high speed dynamo is the one that's fitted to the drive box from the meteor engine.

Lauren Child Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) Really? That's interesting. Wonder if it's the same dynamo as well. Indeedy. I'd not considered that it would be used on other things. I've got Cromwell on the brain, the generator is on the engine for Centurion. It's definitely the same regulator though.

Sean N Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I'll see if I can dig a dynamo out tomorrow & get a photo. You really have Charioteer on the brain. Without wanting to divert this thread off course, absolutely top marks for taking that on, and to Rick for ripping into it the way he has.

Lauren, out of interest, here's the charger drive gearbox and the generator itself. No ID on the generator; apparently according to the manual it's a CAV G7A24-14: Edited February 20, 2015 by Sean N Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pru426 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 no worries, we didn´t overheated it, because the fan belt was removed was idling about one - two minutes the engine looks ok but the water pump is stuck the previous owner had drained the engine and it had not been started for at least six to ten years the oil is clear there´s no water mixture the carburettor and the fuel pump works ok and the distributor is clear the K 9 is 100km from here my friend´s place need to check the engine colour again in bright light spring sun it appears lighter than the last time last winter when was discussion about the color pekka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean N Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Pekka, there's really only two or three ways the water pump can be stuck; the bearings are seized (unlikely, even with the time it's been standing, unless the pump was already leaking); the running faces of the seal are gummed together (quite possible, given it's stood for a long time with no water); or the impeller and the machined face on the pump body have corroded and you've lost the clearance between the impeller and body (again, quite likely). Either way, you should be able to dismantle and rebuild. I may have a water pump here if you're really stuck. I'll see if I can scan the relevant page of the manual for you.
