Colin Lindsay Posted April 11, 2021 Report Posted April 11, 2021 Part number 110403 (I think) for the starting handle gear; the parts diagram shows an earlier version as part 10. The later one is self locking, as I just found out, so whilst I can get away with the two remaining tabs still in place, a perfect replacement would be even better. Anyone got one salted away?
ahebron Posted May 2, 2021 Report Posted May 2, 2021 Thats new to me! Thankfully they got rid of it for the Vitesse! Adrian

PeteH Posted May 2, 2021 Report Posted May 2, 2021 Old time ship lifeboats had the "Vedette" engines. Marineised BMC "A" series. Hand starting, NEVER put the thumb over the handle, recipe for a busted thumb, they things "backfired" for a pastime. Pete
