Ruston Hornsby 6PB - Post Restoration start up -

[@Bidone1967]

Nice Ruston an Hornsby engine. Looks fine and sounds good.

[@steamwally]

Thanks Angus, it's not finished yet but almost there! I look foward to seeing your PB, it has had much more work than mine saw. Phill.

[@steamwally]

Thanks Andrew, they are great engines. You can't crank continuosly but it should start by one good swing on the handle! It will fly out and get you otherwise, but don't let that put you off. Cheers, Phill.

[@805ROADKING]

Awesome job Phill, That thing looks great!! Runs good too. We don't see any Ruston's over here in the States

[@Aussie50]

Great work!, she looks and runs nice!

[@steamwally]

Thank you, I put the fuel tank back on yesterday after painting and so the engine is finished. I have some wood to build a trolley so it should be out at rallys next month.

[@steamwally]

Thanks....shortly after this video the coil packed in at a rally and I had to get it rewound....she now starts first swing, even in sub zero.

[@steamwally]

Thanks Dan, Just painted the exhaust and a first coat on the fuel tank. My mate Elliot has made me a brass fuel tank cap too so that will look good. Phill.

[@angamoos]

Thats looking Great Phill. Well done. I just hope mine looks as good as that when ive finished with it.

[@steamwally]

Yes, there's great precision involved here!

[@goldie103103]

Runs well, great work many thanks Ollie

[@steamwally]

Thanks, she's going to be mounted on a nice oak trolley, I'm buying the wood today hopefully. Phill.

[@steamwally]

Thanks! She should be finished the next time I video the engine.

[@steamwally]

Cheers! Iv'e just painted the exhuast and put a first coat on the tank, she's coming togeher now.

[@Bevoin1970]

Thats one very smooth nice sounding engine, I like this... :-)

[@steamwally]

Just had a look at your LA, very nice engine and runs very well. I supose the only difference to the PB is that it's over head valve.

[@robinhooodvsyou]

Thumbs up for that engine !

[@steamwally]

Thats Villiers engines for you! I've had quite a few small air cooled Villiers engines but have vowed "never again!" This one needed a mag rebuild, I discovered that when the coil failed at the first show. I rebuilt the mag with a new coil and condensor and she was off.... Petters, yeah good engines in general and usualy fitted with a WICO a impulse mag so they go first time if all is well.

[@steamwally]

Thanks, I'm just going to put another coat of paint on the fuel tank, one more after that and she'l be ready to rally.

[@anthacdc]

nice work, runs well.

[@mowersman]

Hmmm runs soooo sweetly, I'm tempted, very tempted to get one as my next engine also, can you continually crank these , or does the handle fly out Andrew

[@MartyTrains200]

I Like Those Start Ups of Your Engines R U getting any more Sooner or later

[@steamwally]

Thanks mate! Did they export these to the USA? It looks quite similar to the INT LA to me. Many thanks, Phill.

[@steamwally]

~ Difficulty in starting is due to a breaking down coil. A new condensor and coil will be fitted soon ~

[@steamwally]

Cheers :) When I get another shed then I will get some more engines..... I will be leaving school to work after this year, the sixth form aint for me....when I have a place of my own I may invest in some more engines :) It may be a while yet.... Phill :)

[@steamwally]

Cheers!

[@Vos1995]

[@tractionengine11]

i have that same problem after a few months on my villiers pull chord petrol engine but my petter hasnt ran for a year and fires first time but it is a han crank and by the way it is a nice engine i have always liked them

[@steamwally]

She sure does!

[@MrSteamdan]

great phil almost thier!

[@805ROADKING]

@steamwally I've never seen one over here. I have an INT LA, They have a similar shape but they have alot of differences. The LA is a little simpler design. My Nephew has a video of mine on his channel. Check him out, his user name is: RACER4560
