1934 Rover 12 engine

Post by digcot65 » Mon Mar 15, 2021 1:30 pm

Hello finally started the engine really for the first time since I bought it I tried it for a coupe of seconds but since it was missing on one cyl I didn`t want to risk anything It was a little awkward to start at first but not too bad .Better when I get used to the mixture and throttle controls. Iv`e set the tappets ,but even at 5 thou a nit noisy.The one problem is the square exhaust flange is leaking ,even with a new gasket and using gasket cement.The other thing is there is O/P from the dynamo ,but the ign light stays on Any help very welcome
