Was that a woodruff type key lying on the worktop wwhen you first put the flywheel back on ?. Seemed to be there all the time you was looking for a spark but had gone when the second rebuild found the spark . Was it not timed correctly initially ?. F and S very well know engineers, even up to aircraft engines.
Now then, when I was working at Askham Bryan College, we had that exact same engine on a commercial lawnmower. Unfortunately I can't remember exactly what make, but I have 'Greens' and 'Webb' buzzing about in my mind. That big flywheel serves two purposes; one, being to maintain momentum when the mower gets into some heavy cutting, and two, because of its mass, and therefore the inertia, it helps to prevent the crankshaft from twisting or snapping in two if the mower cylinder is stalled. It's a good quality engine, used on good quality lawnmowers. I guess it would have other applications too, I only ever saw them on lawnmowers.
@@NorfolkMancave more than likely acylinder mower with that tank are you attending strumpshaw this weekend I’m exhibiting for the first time there this weekend only just got my first engine
Buy yourself some Deoxit D5 in a spray can. It's not cheap but it helps clean and prevent corrosion reforming it'll save you having to pull flywheels in future after cleaning them the first time. And you only need the tiniest amount. I use it for electronic repairs all the time. It's incredible stuff. Greetings from NZ
@@NorfolkMancave yeah it's a contact cleaner. You still need to initially clean things up for best results but it's t also a protectant and has slight lubrication properties for electrical contacts also. You can order it pretty easily online from places like element14, Amazon, RS components or other electronic retailers. Should help you out and I'd think keep points in good shape for years
The Adamski never even checked the other head bolts and she ran well. Good job Adam. I was going to comment on the Douglas that ya'll filed the points twice too much, but hey, here you had to go back again. By a stroke of luck the flywheel wasn't one of those recalcitrant ones you had to break a half inch puller on.
Hi, you must have led a sheltered life, Sachs is a very famous engine makers for many a year. Beesa was sparking against crankcase when you first turned it over ,not against the head watch playback carefully.Many thanks.
Sachs is a famous German make. They made or make a lot of stuff for the German military. ZF Sachs AG, also known as Fichtel & Sachs, was founded in Schweinfurt in 1895 and was a well-known German family business. At its last point as an independent company, the company name was Fichtel & Sachs AG. In 1997, the automotive supplier was taken over by Mannesmann and renamed Mannesmann Sachs AG.

@@NorfolkMancave i have one but it doesnt have the 2nd flywheel as its from a different mower. Took me years to find one as people want silly money for them . I had a brand new one in a carrying frame when i was around 12 but my dad sold it for £25 without telling me!😞
Sachs are quality gear ,had a Sachs Dolmar chainsaw years ago it was one of the best saws I ever had ,excellent stuff ,that little beezer is in sweet condition 👍.
That's a Sachs StayMo (stationery motor) - a search of youtube produces zero results - you should do well if you put those words in the title of this video.
Thanks for a nice video, Sachs was a very common engine on mopeds here in Sweden, even some light motorcycles in the 50-60's
Glad you chose to work on the BSA. I live in the States and have heard of Sachs, but wasn't aware that BSA made small engines. Very facinating!!
Starts easier than my BSA Bantam ever did - that little bike hated me
When I was a child I once started a gas trimmer with the clutch bell removed. It started and flung one of the clutch pads through my parents window. 🤣

The plate on the Sachs looks like Baujahr 72. The build year.

Yeah I think it was off a mower. Aw be it a small one. That flywheels really do help smooth out the running. She's a lovely runner.
Well done🤠
Fitchel and Sachs pronounced Sacks good German maker quality product. Nice old Beezer unit too 👍💨💨
Awesome little thing good job and saw one on a ransomes lawn mower earlier on fb marketplace
Yeah I think this was probably on a small mower.
@@NorfolkMancave more than likely acylinder mower with that tank are you attending strumpshaw this weekend I’m exhibiting for the first time there this weekend only just got my first engine
Lovely little engine I quite like the little air-cooled stuff I think they should get a bit more interest than they do great vid as always ManCave 👍
Yeah the air-cooled stuff is very under rated for some reason. Shame really 😕

I hear My mate Vince talk about Deoxit. But unsure what it is. Will have to look it up. Its a contact cleaner I guess??

Good old BSA, wish my C15 started that easy especially in the wet.
Anyway, you did put 2 stroke in that tank?
today is youre day a better day
Little 2stroker is a runner!

Yeah I suppose I should have checked them really. 😅
First time. Good BSA engineering. Nice little engine. Go nice on a go kart...
Right on
that throttle slide is neat and I didnt knw those went clear back to the late 1940's
Yeah it's a good little design. Don't know how old this lump is to be honest.

Aw thanks for the info mate. ☺️
They built 7000 50 cc engines to fit on the drive of a bicycle n 3:21 😊

great engines
At 38 mins you dont need to remove that part as its just the float part, its the other one with the jet in.
Yeah I just wanted to clean it all really mate. She's a good runner tho. Think that heavy flywheel help smooth her out a lot.

put a washer behind the shroud and the screw so the flywheel can clear the shroud
really neat to see how small engines were build in Europe, the German ones were weird
Lol. You watch my next video of that little Sachs 2 stroke. Yep built very different to a UK engine. Bloody nice quality tho.
Sachs are quality gear ,had a Sachs Dolmar chainsaw years ago it was one of the best saws I ever had ,excellent stuff ,that little beezer is in sweet condition 👍.
Yeah that is a really well made engine to be honest. So lightweight yet built like a tank.
Deep socket set ime!
Petroll is Petrol LOL
Hope you check the oil in sump
Bugger I didn't did it. Must check that before running it again.
It's 2 cycle oil in gas not in engine
Havnt clue about engines only to look at them
Oil level ok ?
that tinwork is held on by screws
Why didn't you blow that off outside? He should see if it has oil before he tries starts it!
the bohem "bottom"
That's a Sachs StayMo (stationery motor) - a search of youtube produces zero results - you should do well if you put those words in the title of this video.
Green its a 4 stroke
Go for the German 2 stroke
Done video today on that one buddy. Will be posted Wed at 6pm 😀😀
put that on a mini bike LOL
That would be a fun project 😀
you gotta spock
Lol.. you learning Norfolk mate oww arrrr...
Ya cant kill a BSA 50 cc if they are maintianed,,
So in English is just Gas
youre arm is in the way, partly
