Hello everyone,
I've just joined the club and thought I'd say hello and post a few photos of my new project - a gorgeous 1936 Pacemaker that I understand was found in Wainwright-Canada, two years ago, and brought into the UK.
He's not a runner, but having now had it a few weeks, I've had a chance to look over most of it and I can't see any major problems. Lots of little ones though!
There are a few bits and pieces missing and a lot to sort out - no doubt you'll see some new threads from me over coming weeks....
The engine wasn't stuck but the valves were siezed and some bent pushrods etc.. thank goodness the valves have eased off nicely and are all free now. The cylinders look in great condition although they had an unbelievable amount of debris and dead animals in them. Its the only time I've ever had to hoover out cylinders!
The radiator has rot out in the usual place, and the carb is already with Stan Howe. Magneto didnt work but does now, etc etc etc.... The whole of the choke and heat flap controls are missing which is probably biggest issue although hopefully wont prevent starting.
Well this will keep me out of mischief anyway, hope to be in a position to try and start it in August. I did say TRY, and start it :-)
Anyway, cheers 4now,
Jon Morley.
