We bought Simon's stock of petrol paraffin bits and pieces when he fitted a Lister to Willow. We had thought of putting it in Heyford but are now rebuilding another F4 and saving this one for best. Tom has modified a vaporiser to enable starting on paraffin/kero along the lines of the engine Volvo used to make. Once we have this system running properly ,and we are testing it one one of the F2's, and the F4 crankshaft comes back from having one journal polished it will be all systems go. Regards, HughC.
