Rusted box
Richard that rusty box is not the tool box from the front left, because it would also have the rebate for the bell crank in it. I'd say it was made for where it is, due to the angle the rod runs under it at..... Underkistumble?

Well Done!
Congratulations Erik!
And I am astounded at the condition after all those years uncovered. Here in Australia Carriers seem to suffer far worse from rust than yours!! Regards Alex

You know you can always use the hand crank to start the motor if you don't have a starter for it.... just need a good arm, alot of determination, some elbow greese, and a good supply of cuss words!!.. I know that wasn't funny but I just had to throw that in .... LOL .... Harold

In fact the Mk1 British manual for my Scout Carrier recommends always using the hand crank to start UNLESS the engine is already warmed up !
Cheers Phill

Ignition parts
After cleaning the tub I´m now focusing on getting some life in the motor. The distributor had had a hard life and is in need of a new rotor, coil, contact points, condenser and a few gaskets. When looking at new parts I can go for the original stuff or there is a coil adaptor kit making it 12V or I can go for an electronic distributor type MALLORY. What would you do? Primarily I´ll try to make this UC a driver so 100% originality is not a requirement for the moment.
Regards Erik

I'll be interested in others responses to your questions too. I think the dizzy in these motors is rather hard to get to in-situ. So that makes me think a Mallory electronic dizzy could be a satisfactory way to go, subject to cost. Should be no point gap or dwell to worry about?? Regards Alex
