Hi there
I've owned a 1928 chummy for a few years and I have never managed to get it running properly- engin/starter / magneto have been rebuilt etc etc.

I live near Amesbury in Wiltshire - can anyone recommend a good 7 friendly mechanic I can take the car to - in order to get her fixed. I think I've used too many people who think they know what they are doing (and don't)in the past hence my troubles have never been fully resolved.

Many thanks

Also worth trying Vince Leek who is a bit closer to you.

Thank you most kindly for advices given

Steve Hodgson at SMH services, East Preston is my personal guru of choice, not as close as the others mentioned but definitely prettier. stevehodgo@hotmail.co.uk or 07813117474.

Just while I think on.....
Why would the rotor arm in the magneto rotate in the opposite direction to the arrow stamped onto the magneto casing - is this normal ??

Because the arrow refers to the rotation of the input shaft, which is connected to the engine. The rotor arm is driven via a gear, which reverses the direction of rotation.
