Hi Brian. The brass plate has serial number G12775 and a logo with LSE. Maybe they did a refurb to the motor at some time? Ron

With the help of Charlie Fitton, we got the Chorehorse running. Next up for me is figuring out the wiring to get the generator charging.
Anyway enjoy the videos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6fYii3fsvE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_ANu-CUxdo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScHkmya_egA

Got one of my two going this morning as well. Just a bit of fresh fuel and that was about it. The other, no spark so I think the mag need a cleaning.

Chris would it be possible for you to take some pictures of the wiring behind the control panel? Ive had to replace a few wires due to insulation falling apart. I think I have it all hooked up properly but Im not too sure.

From memory I sold you that but with the knowledge we now have it is clearly a Canadian Engine with British Electrics. Quite when it happened is anyone's guess but now we know that there was British late war production it could still be a war-time rebuild.

Well I have managed to get some power coming from the chorehorse. However I have discovered that my relay switch does not work and I can't seem to change the output with the rheostat. However I do have a severe lack of electrical knowledge and don't really know what im doing. So it might simply be me.
I was also shown as rather nice NOS oil bath air cleaner from a chorehorse. I found it interesting that the decal was masked off and then the SCC2 was sprayed. However you can still make out the original satin black finish along the edges. For those interested, the small engine crowd has created a demand for the decals and they can be bought online. They are the same decal as used on the Universal Carrier oil bath engine crankcase breather. http://www.ebay.com/itm/151763443409...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Thanks Bruce. I truly have no idea how to work those multi meters. I'll try it on the DC setting tomorrow.

Tried the meter on the DC settings and below is what I got. When I tried moving the output control back and forth nothing on the meter changed. Is it supposed to? So potentially both my output control and cutout switch do not function.
