Hmm wont be using this paint again! just been out and checked on it and its started to crumple up in places. followed the instructions to the T, so will be using the satin stuff I got and topping off with clear gloss lacquer. Im quite annoyed!

My Wife think the blue looks smart so Im quite happy with it, I sanded it back and put some of my brush paint on, see what that turns out like!

It was a Big moral boost to get it together!

Cheers Steve

I think its a good thing, though sime people wouldnt agree! though I have seen some crazy colours about!

Right she is back together with new petrol pipe, got a few issues, my gasket was rubish and dosnt create a good enough seal! so the cylinder will have to come back off, and I havnt had time to look at the flywheel at the mo. But she ran quite well after adjusting the throttle arm,

Thanks, Yea i got the take the fuel cap off to flood it, owell,

So you looking out for a spare hopper then?

do you think it was done in its working life so a large cooling tank could be used?

Cheers Steve

Well she's as done as she its going to be until the winter, looks like I will be going deeper, the big end seemed ok when I had the cylinde off, but getting a knock underload, so that will be my winter project! Will up date this thread when work starts, Will see if I can get the flywheel off!

Cheers Steve

I got another WX11 at Astle this year because I needed a base and this one had been broken for parts, it was all there apart from bearings and a piston so I got the expantion chamber, plus a elbow tube for my other WX and then I sold the rest, unfortunatly the hopper was one of the first things to go and I only realised my WAT was a WAH after it went!
