Allen Mercury Mk1 25 Diesel - Re-run with a free contra piston! - AM 25

[@Petra-ix3bh]

Well done Mark, it is so very satisfying to see an old diesel run well after a bit of patient fettling and tinkering!

[@MarkRobinson555]

Thanks for the comment, pleased you liked the run 😜

Many AM 2.5 or 3.5 engines have long since had the NVA replaced, often by a good old PAW one, due to that weak aluminium part. A piece of neoprene tube can be slid over the needle body, and then pushed up over the spraybar nut to stop the needle moving and also stop any leaks.

Thanks, appreciate the suggestion 😀

Nice one Mark! Out of interest, what’s the hot restart like, if you tried one of course.

[@MarkRobinson555]

It was fine starting without issue when hot 😀

[@scottobrien3484]

Is it for sale Mark?

[@MarkRobinson555]

Not really, sorry 😀 Good luck finding one

[@terryblackman6217]

Such a shame they don't make them anymore. Great little sport engines. Nice one.

[@MarkRobinson555]

Yes absolutely, thanks for the comment 😀

[@davidcatlow]

Will you be building a Voetsak Tribute for it?

[@MarkRobinson555]

I will have to look into that, thanks 😀
