[SEL] Attention Aussies - Austral Question

[Brian Watts]

Re- satrting coils 4 of our 5 Blackstones all have perforated stainless 
steel coils in Both main & starting chambers some have a mixture of half 
mild steel and balance stainless steel in the starting coil, with no load 
and( at 180 RPM.)on a cool day and idling for a long time they may stop 
after 3 hours or if the air temperature goes down,2 Clutterbucks react the 
same, but our 3HP. Vertical has no Timing valve,no main coil and has 7- 5/16 
steel nuts in the starting chamber and will idle all day with no load.
When one of our engines stops at a rally it is good for the spectators to 
see the eng. and the procedure for re- starting and we now stop and start 
regularly during the show
So the stopping problem is now part of our display.
