eggsc8 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Hi to every one on HMVF , I am currently restoring one of these compressor trailers and it is going very well apart from the fact that the Magneto is seized up , It is a Wipac A Series Two Cylinder Magneto on a Petter PA2 Engine , The engine appears to be in good fetel and so does the compressor and the trailer , It is proving very difficult to source either a Magneto or another Petter PA2 that is in good order , Maybe someone knows of something that will help , I will post some pictures later in the week , Paul.

eggsc8 Posted June 16, 2020 Author Share Posted June 16, 2020 Hi , Yes i have contacted both of these with no luck , I am looking now to have my mag repaired but the cap is broken and I can not find another one , There are some magnetos on Evilbay but not two cylinder ones, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatchFuzee Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Have you thought of 3d printing the cap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggsc8 Posted June 17, 2020 Author Share Posted June 17, 2020 I had not thought of that but I think I may have a solution to all my problems I have located a complete running engine , The only problem is that it is a reverse rotation engine but I think that by crossing the belts it will get me up and running Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
