The Petter Atomic #233666 |
The Atomic is a full cold start diesel. Here are two quick snaps, courtesy of Matt's Digital camera, of the latest acquisition sitting on the trailer in the dark.
Dates from 1938 and is the 6hp @900rpm. I'm told they were fitted with solid flywheels when rearted to 6hp as the spoked flywheels gave trouble at 900rpm. It will sit in the shed until I finish one or two other projects and a trolley for it as its very heavy .
Although in generally good shape it has the wrong injector tip (the right one is unobtainable) and the injector cam follower needs a new roller and pin.
