Rare Petter 2A Aircooled Twin. Will it spark?

[@georgebayliss3291]

I like the way you've always done your videos Adam, it's nice to see the entire process and your "failings" so to speak, it's really reassuring to know we all have them and interesting to see how you overcome them. Especially if you don't edit things down, we the viewers can learn more and might be able to mend our own engines better because we don't miss out anything important! Keep on going the way you always have done - no part of your videos are boring :)

[@TerryLawrence001]

I enjoy seeing the whole process and 4 or 5 hour long videos is just right for me. Having the will it start at the end of the last video is a nice bit of suspense. 🙂

[@KevinButch]

Please don't change a thing. I like the format and content just as it is and look forward to your next videos with keen interest.

[@Equiluxe1]

I like the warts and all approach, that way you can learn more about the engine as well as learning from your mistakes.

[@Norfolkonsea]

My vote, keep the videos as they are. The producers I get fed up with personally are the ones who hardly speak and use a lot of time lapse so you can't see what's going on without pi$$ing about slowing them down.

[@freespirit4775]

you do just fine, it is fine to see the whole proces. you could even let the video bee longer.

[@PeteWilliams-sb7nf]

No leave your videos as they are,you do excellent videos and your narrative is excellent,keep them coming,most enjoyable.

[@colvillebri196]

Keep to the same format, I like the way you split the videos up, all good stuff.

[@davidcoleman6032]

I think the present format is great Adam. Love the way you do your videos, love the commentary aswell, saying it as it is. Your a great teacher and very informative and entertaining videos. Best wishes from down the road in Cambridgeshire. ☺👍❤

[@andrewmosher5800]

I ran into the same problem on a 1947 international w4.. the little gear fell out and messed up the mag timing.. fortunately there were timing marks on the gear.. very small and two sets of marks.. one for gas and another for kerosene..if I remember correctly.. keep the great videos coming.. I really enjoy them.. ! Andrew

[@jasonjoncas-l2g]

It is the whole process that is interesting. Me a diesel mechanic my hobby is small engines its relaxing bringing one of these back to life. Dont change anything love seeing weird engines to me across the pond I live in Canada.

[@eladfitz5673]

I like the way you do your videos, if you run into a issue we all can see how it comes about. Also love your click torque wrench.

[@secretanorak592]

Another lovely Engine, personally I like the format exactly as you do it. Keep up the good work!

[@Country_Bubba]

I like your style of video as it shows some details that I have learned from that would be missed by the shorter overview style. Thanks for all your efforts.

[@Chewy1986123]

Big thanks Mr Fenn we had the same issue with my Coventry Victor flat twin, we followed your instructions on how to time the magneto and it fired up 2nd swing, thanks again 👍👍

[@anthonysaunders1550]

Don’t change anything. Like the format and content.

[@shedhead00]

Your videos are great the way they are ,

[@MrJonah30]

I like the way you do them now with everything in far more interesting and full of useful info👍👍👍

[@andydickson6085]

Adam, Keep the format as it is now. Warts and all. It is more realistic and shows what working on an old engine is really like 👍

[@paulbillingham4594]

Hi Adam, Sorry I meant to add I personally like seeing the whole process of how you go about working on an engine and diagnosing the issues. The timing of that magneto is a good example. There are not many people who learn these skills anymore in a throw away world and seeing engines repaired for little or nothing is refreshing.

[@TheTutorialguy_28]

Been watching your channel for years now and I've always loved the video format you use simply because you see all the little nicks and nacks with all the little mishaps that happen too which shows people it isn't straight forward and easy with engines. Also its nice for it not to be rushed like other channels do 👍 I would never have guessed it was a petter but she is definitely a good find and she's going to make a good series, see you in the next one 👍

[@rayscrupps5584]

You just keep going the way you are mate you doing well 👍

[@marktyler2396]

i like your videos just as they are

[@terryraymond7984]

Even if some things are boring I like all the details in a video especially if its something I would like to know how to do certain things we can all learn about from a video

[@Chewy1986123]

Great video as always Mr Fenn 👍👍

[@billdyke9745]

A box spanner is what you need for those plugs. 👍

[@timothyhatcher8673]

Hi man cave am I correct in saying Lister and petters are exactly the same just slightly different in design I prefer the way u always do video I love seeing whole process it fascinating me

[@brucedavenport1324]

Keep em as they are . A lot more interesting .

[@christophergrimes12]

I like the way you do your videos

[@rodsheret9065]

great vid can't you turn the dog in the handle 180 so you can turn the engine the opposite way

[@patblashka5758]

,love the videos I'm from the states love watching

[@k144kev]

Keep the videos the way they are you got the magic formula Kev Rainy Devon at mo👍👍

[@steveC2]

That's a novel way to do valve seats

[@kt3537]

Great video don't change a thing keep all content in 🤠

[@johndeere1958ful]

I like the videos as they are

[@TheSynthnut]

Certainly a pretty rare beasty.

[@1961kickboxer]

She’s a unit that one adam

[@jpatston1]

I think you edit your channel very well and hope you don’t change a thing

[@BRI33NOR]

Where do you come across all these old somewhat unusual engines ?. I was born and raised on a farm over 80 years ago, familiar with all kinds of motors and machinery but you show me some I have never seen before.

[@terryraymond7984]

youre own built in torque wrench, that works

[@lewisgardner1660]

Keep videos as they are, watching you do it all is what makes your Chanel different, I mean you could singe the odd singe while ya working tho, do you still use your air rifles? You have not put a video up for a while

[@trisrush9155]

2A… I must be as rusty as that fan.. of course it’s a 2A, as in 2xA…… I’m a big fan of petter twins, normally A2, PA2.. and I should have known! As an aside, you spoke to both of my uncles in your henham video…. I’ll let you guess who they are! But, this is right up my street. These were commonly fitted to AM compressor sets, there is one at flixton museum. Also, the mag shares parts with the PA2 mag, (gear reduction distributor) and I think I’m correct in saying that the ally pistons, and corresponding cylinders are the same as series one AS 👍

[@neilcopping3197]

Would it not be an idea to pull the plugs before you turn it over too much and dose them with WD 40 or whatever you are using? Rings may be stuck on an engine that hasnt ran for years and you are lubing dry bores. Great content ...am an avid watcher

[@Frank.Treiber]

My suspicion was that the Magento was demagnetized.

[@terryraymond7984]

ole spider was just evicted poor chap

[@terryraymond7984]

Check spark and Compression and see if it will just pop off a little with gas in the spark plug hole.

[@alexgarrod9093]

Love videos there interesting like it bit by bit

[@paulbillingham4594]

What an interesting engine Adam. I have never seen one and had no idea what it is. Is it military?? I bought one of those little magnetic dishes from QD and dont know how I have lived without it. I would love an engine like that!

[@matnaylor8939]

Crack on as norm Man cave ! Leave the format as is 👍 that bad boy is a rare old thing needs to be kept as original as poss quality bit of kit the military didn't use shite !

[@TerryLawrence001]

With all the "borrowed" parts I think it is more of a "Fraken-Petter" 2A "/F"

[@darrenhawken9766]

Great vid, keep as is , mistake and f ups more entertaining 😜👍💨💨

[@terryraymond7984]

Was that Engine only made in Europe, I havent ever heard of that Engine here in the USA

[@listerfunwithmarcus6177]

keep them the same DONT CHANGE

[@terryraymond7984]

wow thats easier than installing and timing a distributor

[@eladfitz5673]

If you want to edit and consolidate into one video and get more views, name it a "Will IT RUN Vintage Military Petter 2A engine. A lot of people type in those words, I would love to see you get over 1000 subscribers by end of year.

[@eladfitz5673]

10,000 subscribers

[@BRI33NOR]

What happened to the black plastic knob and spring assembly on the right hand side of the magneto ?. There before you had no spark, gone when you came back with a nice blue spark. Wasn't a stop switch of some kind was it?, in the off position ?. Just curious.

[@terryraymond7984]

You know how it is to drop a part or something and then you spend *hours* trying to find that part, argggghhh

[@andydickson6085]

What was the clicking noise when torquing the head? Was it your elbow ?😅

[@garydunn1853]

SORRY MATE THE TIMEING IS STILL WRONG, LOOK AT WERE THE LEADS ARE THEY ARE NOT 3 AND 9 O`OCLOCK THEY ARE BETWEEN 1 AND 2 WITH THE OTHER AT 7 AND 8 O`OCLOCK. P.S. REMOVE THE CENTRE LEAD FROM THE DISTRIBUTOR CAP AND PLACE IT CLOSE TO THE ENGINE BODY THEN CRANK IT OVER IT SAVES A LOT OF TIME THAT WAY. I ALL WAYS DO IT THAT WAY OK MATE

[@graham888]

Keep the format as is, more interesting.

[@terryraymond7984]

Im a buffoon too LOL!

[@thepubliceye]

Are you sure the "P" does not stand for Petrol?

[@terryraymond7984]

Yeah they are just Small Engines not the Space Shuttle

[@terryraymond7984]

maybe its the plug wires are bad

[@markcox7442]

Please leave in the worts and all, cause that’s what these engines are about. Find a problem and workout how to solve it.

[@terryraymond7984]

im blind i didnt see any spark

[@lewisgardner1660]

What’s all this talk about special lube and blow offs mr fenn
