Hello all,

So I did a clean up on the engine, fabricated the broken sliding valve link and added a boiler strap
(waiting on shoulder screw so I made do for now)
Tried to fire her up today, but couldn't get it to turn over. No major leaks, relief valve seems good, whistle is good and it
acts like it wants to turn over but doesn't. Everything moves freely and is well oiled.
I opened up the valve casing (pics attached) as I have never looked inside a valve casing before.
Not sure if there are issues with the valve assy.
