[mowgli]

have you got a spark??

it does remind me of a perkins 3pot tractor i saw (when i worked for an agric engineer) that ran, but a bit uneven... so head off, to find a jubilee clip on #2 big end to keep the oil pressure up & no piston or rod, and a blob of sealant in the top of the injector so it wouldn't piss diesel into the sump.....


so are the bits in the sump?
