Nice that you have a little hot tub for it. Very posh to have a dip in the cold of winter...

Hi
I have just bought one of these engines. Again it's to relive my childhood as one of these engines powered my Granny's home for over 50 years.
My question is what engine oil do I use in it?
Thanks
Regards Stuart

What type of oil do you use in the red can? I was told by a friend of mine that knows a lot about these engines that it’s best to use a thick oil, kinda like a gear oil with a high amount of zinc ZDDP In it.

A good idea when cranking, is to place Your thumb on the same side of the handle as your fingers are !! 7.53

Very nice!
Could do with a higher rim on that water tank though, so top pipe is thoroughly submerged, without water spilling over the top.
