I don't, unfortunately Richard

I'm not sure how active they were in Kenilworth, I knew Rodney through the London North Western Railway society. He was very active in many canal and railway groups. I only met Philip once when he was quite elderly Richard I wouldn't be surprised to find that is one of the Weavers Richard

With Phillip living in Kenilworth, this was very much on his patch I assume the octagonal building was more or less opposite the gasworks? And thank you for posting these images NLS link: https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=17.7&lat=52.28591&lon=-1.59705&layers=168&b=1&o=100 Richard

The issue here is Eala has an early SR, which needs a starter with the holes on a smaller PCD than the later ones. I'm not sure if a version of the LRS 555 is available with that pattern, her CAV starter certainly does. That needs a specialist who understands CAV starters Richard

What problems are you getting, Adam? I'm guessing the engine stops and you have to wait half an hour before it will start again? The engine has a massive fan built into the flywheel - much bigger and more powerful than any blower you will put in. If that doesn't cool it, there's a significant problem somewhere. I haven't come across an effective blower set up yet If you give Sue a ring on 01926 356200, she will help you identify the engine (she does a lot of that) and can give you some idea of what might be going on Richard

Sue here, I make Boat Curtains. Primrose bespoke furnishings. email sue[at]primrose-furnishings[dot]co[dot]uk. In Warwickshire but I can make them from measurements, and I can get samples sent to you to check on the boat. Email me for links to the companies I have accounts with to see if there is anything you like. Sue

If it doesn't work, it's more likely the reverse band has gone. You've got forward so the forward clutch is OK. You've got neutral so the pump is working and pulling the clutch out against the springs. We have bands in stock Richard Richard

That's one of the things the timing tool does

I have a timing tool, if that helps Richard

Unlikely Richard

Could always bump start it I guess...

It is also hand start, which makes it a challenge for use in a boat

Splendid, we specialise in the repair of old Lister engines. If you want an idea of what that might cost, give Sue a ring on Monday. 01926 356200 Richard

The obvious solution would be to remove the engine. What engine is it? Richard

That's my thought too. I'm interested to see what the old rods are like Richard
