so decided as it was spring I would see if I could get it started..... Amal carb so corroded all the jets were blocked and the throttle slide woulnt move, no spark and fuel tap missing.
so a few hours with my AF spanners and its alive
......... pulls like a train with its 150cc Villiers/BSA side valve engine.
How sad am I that I should be so happy saving old tat from the skip!!!!!! oh hold on, that's what we all do with our storms
my old man worked at ransomes for about 30 years after he came out of the raf . he might have had a hand in that mower ( painful!) . I think he was more involved with side panels for combine harvesters now I think about it.
I think ransomes invented that type of mower ?
