MY NEW ENGINE FROM THE STATES

HI ALL
R+V TRIUMPH ENGINE....1hp OPEN CRANK.........HIT&MISS...........

my new engine arrived today...well crated up...took me ages to get into the crate......
the trolley is only temporary.....got to put the proper one together and get it running......
think the timing is out....i know someone thats got a manual for it......
will have to speak to them later to see if i can borrow it.....

here's some phots of the progress

mike......

i thought you had bought one un painted, that looks well nice

when i saw it that was enough...i had to have it.....its so small close up.....this is why im selling all my other engines....
no not to pay for it...before you say it.....im loaded.... fu** handsome...rich wins every time....

its a R+V TRIUMPH ENGINE......1hp OPEN CRANK.......1913......

mike.................

From what I can see it looks one very smart engine .... way to go Mike ... worth every hard earned penny, ya lucky ba****d, yes I'm jealous but It couldn't have gone to a nicer bloke (well except me lol).

Both you n his lordship should be very proud to own some wonderful engines between you's both. Dorset's going to be the U.S. engine heritage centre of the UK soon.

Great engine, very nice buy,

Stu.

Looking forward to seeing a video of it working.

I must get around to making my little 1hp R&Vs look a little nicer



Looking like the 12hp would be nice.

would be great if i could

Sure. Feel free.

Thanks for posting photos there great engines

Nice engine Mike, looks better than your boss's engine, that should be restored before Lord's Jonesy's bash then, if you cant get it running, connect it to an electric motor and get a tape player with engine sounds on and no one will know
