[QUOTE="Peter Stokes, post: 15735, member: 781"] Hello Albervin. I have got a similar engine. Mine is T 07 AU/4F/3059. The crankcase, barrel and head look the same, but the exhaust and carb mounting are different. Maybe these could be varied according to different uses, and the differences in the first parts of the serial numbers are maybe some clue to the use, although information is difficult to find. Try NGK B5HS to start with. I have not driven anything with mine, but for demonstration purposes it will run happily on a bit of throttle for half an hour - I have not needed to run it for longer than that. If you are running it under load it might need a colder plug I suppose. Mine has an alloy plate covering the points inspection hole. On it is stamped instructions for petrol/oil ratios, and that gives a clue to which position mine runs in - with the crank vertical, in the manner of a rotary lawn mower. For demonstration purposes I have fixed mine horizontally (just turned the carb on its stub) and used an old mower fuel tank. There are no external wires on mine, apart from the HT lead. There are some photos of it somewhere in the gallery, but I admit I have not sussed out how to find things too well since the gallery was revamped. If I can't find them I'll post some more, eventually. There are other photos from other contributors as well. Pete (I've found [I]some[/I] photos in misc 2008 Industrial products) [/QUOTE]
