Having this absolutely has to make you feel like Duncan or Paul with all their vintage machines....Really awesome piece of history..I am starting the build of my 1928 Morgan/GN special restomod..Mine in keeping with the English cyclers will be a Morgan/MG special....I will let you know..All of us cycle car collectors have to stay together...Even across the pond...
I made a tensioner for a 57 Chevy’s windshield wiper cable assembly similar to what your tensioner on your spool steering looks like. The easiest way on the wiper in retrospect would have been to take a piece of banding metal like what you attach things down to a pallet with, and grind a couple slots in it so that you could bow it and force it onto the cable in the span that doesn’t matter,Since it only moves back-and-forth about 5 inches, and let its springiness keep constant tension on the cable. But On steering, your way is the way to go! It can’t have springiness or it could affect the tightness in a hard steer. very cool machine for sure! I’d rather rig then eat and I’m hungry all the time! Ha ha!
That is a fantastic absorbing little motor. Love the carburettor. One step up from blowing petrol through a straw - ha! Good luck with getting the transmission sorted.
braze apiece of suare bar on the counter shaft and make the sproket fit the square with a flange one side and threadand nut the other that will stop iy jumping about and ratteling just a thaught ttfn&ty
I would have expected a key of some sort to transfer drive from the gear to the shaft. If not, you could modify it. You could drill through the gear and shaft and insert a pin.
not agoog idia shaft would break at the pin see my ssolutionwhich is long winded but stands more chance of long use the other way is to machine ashaft with square ,tapper or spline
As I understand it, there is no differential there, and the sprocket is attached to the axle with something like a collet? But is there really no locking nut or clamp for secure fastening? Is everything really based on friction? Or is this a standard way to reduce impulse loads on the circuit? THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve just been prefiltering for the time being. Need to find something nice and old if I’m going to do something between the tank and the carb.. cheers
The shim was there for a reason and it's moved. It doesn't look like you put the shim back in its place before you tightened it down. Questions would be. Is the shaft original? Why was the shim there? Is the shaft narrower there than the rest of it?
Using brass for a 'locking shim' is not a good idea as it is a self lubricating metal. Try steel with carborundum paper around 100 - 150 grit tucked in the joint. Regards

Great video! I think a vintage fuel filter with a glass bowl would look ok. Something like CA1026
Just paint the full filter a flat black ! It will blend in
Thank you for this video. I like this old cycle car, I think for this beauty, you need Cooper fuel line and filter !!.

Good to see the Grafton out and about. Curious how you'll resolve the drive issue. Really love that little car.
A second hand vintage stationary engine or mower glass bowl filter from a well known internet auction site should do the trick... 👍
Could try Aspen fuel which I believe doesn't go off like standard petrol does. Expensive though.
Used cars lasted longer back then. I want one!
wonderful video please put chainguard in cockpit

Engine seems reliable for its age.

A filter in your funnel would help.
Pre tank filtration as opposed to post tank.
Or both ?

I think it was very much a “get me home” situation. Good idea
