Default Coventry Climax 'GODIVA' generator

Does anyone have information to operate and maintain/overhaul this Genset.

Details on the nameplate are:

GODIVA
CAT No X2/6115-99-110-2417
GENERATOR SET GASOLINE ENGINE
3.5 Kva 230 Volts AC
SINGLE PHASE 50 CYCLES No1 MARK 3
Complete with tools and spares (ALL MISSING)
WD No B1529/CC/61
UNIT No ESM 209/3/2648

I believe the whole unit will need a bit of an overhaul, the engine turns over , but no compression on No 2 cylinder (valve stuck?). There are no sparks on any of the plugs. The oil pressure gauge does indicate a healthy oil pressure when turning on the starter. The engine is a side valve water cooled unit. All hoses are perished so will have to hunt down some of these.

The generator is an unknown quantity at the moment until the engine can be sorted. The generator is located above the engine and is driven via 3 belts. there are no instruments for voltage, current or frequency, (may have been removed?).

the whole unit is mounted on what I think is a Sankey trailer?

Any help with information would be appreciated.

regards
Nigel

Default More information on Generator

I've been talking with the REME museum regarding this Genset and they may have some information but it is on the Mark 2 not the Mark 3.
They do not know the difference, does any one else?
Also I would appreciate feedback if I have the right Forum to ask about this unit, if not any suggestions?
Any help would be appreciated
regards
Nigel

After my recent enquiry on this Forum regarding my Norman Generator, I was directed to the following museum link.

www.internalfire.com

They e-mailed me a copy of the engine manual within 48 hours of my enquiry. They are a charity and only provide this service to private individuals. You may like to try them.

Richard,
sorry for not reading message before but as a new member I did not realise it was there, still learning how to use the Forum.

Thanks for the feedback. I will follow up on your suggestion.
