Bits May Fall Off Video

Recommended Posts

Many decades ago a mate bought a Zephyr 6.....but it was misfiring a bit.

The engine was covered in crud, we washed it off and found a wooden bung instead of 1 spark plug.

Hence the misfire (we thought).....so we put in a spark plug, connected the HT lead & started it up.

Exactly the same, still misfiring. So off he went.....

about a mile down the road the engine exploded & the sump blew off.

Turns out there was no piston or conrod in that bore either.

The spark plug had ignited the petrol & oil vapour once it warmed up in the crankcase.
