Well my M91 arrived yesterday,here in London. So thats 21 days from the day I actually placed the order through Jin. I had to pay an additional £12 in costs to UK Parcelforce. The new engine comes with the rope start pulley fitted and the pull cable which was nice. The engine runs well and the hit and miss operates at a nice speed .i don't feel the need to play about wih springs. It does seem to stop after about 3 minutes running. I then leave it for a couple of minutes and it starts first pull. I will have to investigate . The one mistake I made was I had a mental block and I thought the exhaust fitting was an oiler because I could see the valve stem. I squirted a good bit of oil in there, so you can imagine what happened on first start.
I am not too happy with the wooden box. It raises the C of G too high, so I will reduce it a bit and add in some nice legs that come out the side. But all in all very happy
Brian.
