I bought my Tarot engine based on your recommendation years ago Jim. I have been amazed at the quality & precision running then, & I still love the engine now. (Think I need to get it down & give er' a run)

Its a firm favourite of mine Bruce because it never fails to be such a pleasure to run.
exactly !

Everyone needs one or three Empire pumps. They do look better with the paint removed like you’ve done.

Thanks Nick......I have two, the second one I can't get to pump.
As its spot welded together not sure how to go about a repair yet.
