listerdiesel Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 (edited) Hi Guys (and Gals?) New on the forum this weekend, used to have a Champ in the late 1960's, sold it after I got married :cry: Main interests are engines and generators, which was where I picked up the forum as I was looking for information on a BSA genny. We (Rita & Myself) have a large 9000 page website, located on two sites, mainly for engine nuts but there's a lot of general info as well: USA host: http://www.oldengine.org/members/diesel or the UK host: http://www.stationary-engine.co.uk It's all free, no registration, no restrictions other than what is on the first page regarding copyright etc etc. In my early 60's now, so don't get a lot of vehicle work done these days, but still have engines to play with, and our youngest has a series 3 Landy. I'll get my sig sorted out later with email etc. Peter Edited January 25, 2009 by listerdiesel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

listerdiesel Posted January 26, 2009 Author Share Posted January 26, 2009 Many thanks for the very warm welcome guys, much appreciated! If I can help at all with diesel/electric stuff, give me a shout, and don't forget that the websites carry a lot of useful stuff as well. There is also one site which carries old UK Patent information: http://www.oldengine.co.uk This is a long-term project to put up about 8000 pages of UK Patent information, scanned from original abridged patents, with the blessing of the Patent Office.

Well a bit of a hybrid, I was given a chore horse and a 1953 BSA set. The magneto plate and flywheel of the BSA are now fitted to the chore horse. We use it to power up HRO's in the back of Phil Web's QLR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listerdiesel Posted January 26, 2009 Author Share Posted January 26, 2009 Most of the WWII production and just after are pretty interchangeable on parts, but there are detail differences. Good site for the Johnson Iron Horse here: http://www.asecc.com/data/iron/ Handy little beasties but quite heavy compared with something like a modern Honda.

ashley Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Hi Guys (and Gals?) Main interests are engines and generators, which was where I picked up the forum as I was looking for information on a BSA genny. Peter Hi Peter welcome to the forum, how old is the generator, i own a Tarpen one which is BSA powered but probably later than the type you have. it was used to power all types of hand held garden machinery. Used mine last year to power lights in the garage. Ashley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gritineye Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Welcome Peter, I also have a BSA/Chorehorse generator, for no other reason than I just like it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listerdiesel Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 Gritineye & Ashley: The BSA sets we have are 1953 and 1956, the Pincor units are 1942. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
