last weekend I had a major problem with my B23 4 hp. Serious engine noises revealed a broken con rod which had managed to punch it's way through the top of the engine casing and pushed the rear the piston through the head and bent the crankshaft. I think I can salvage the piston, I have a crankshaft and con rod which will do the job but I am looking for a cylinder head, I could exchange a one piece barrel and head from a 4 1/4 hp. many thanks for any suggestions.

Hello Wilf, I probably have the bits you need if you can't find bits close to home as the postage would be a bit steep. I normally meet a mate from Orange who may come up to the Gatton Swap 24 Oct. If you could wait that long. Think there may be a motor less Mag Flywheel Manfold etc just give me a list.

Hi Alan I really appreciate your prompt response and kind offer, I would certainly arrange for any freight and costs etc.. However an option a little closer to home has popped up which would certainly make it more timely particularly since I am attempting to prepare the bike for the "Girder fork" run on 24th Oct as you can appreciate I am running out of time. With your permission I would like to get back to you if the local option does not work out for any reason.
My kind regards.

Hello Wilf, Haven't received your pers email. But all the bits you require rear head crank and usable barrels available. Alan

Hi Alan I must have taken down your personal email incorrectly as it keeps being returned. I will phone you in the morning (Wed)>
Many thanks for assisting
