Hi two subjects
1.problem with rh side tank filled first time this week ;that seems fine no leaks but the valve leaks ,taken apart cleaned it but can't tighten it enough to stop it leaking,am i right in thinking this one feeds the injector which i understand is not to reliable, so it is not the end of the world if i rely on the lh side with the hand pump which seems fine
2. the lubricator hardly any movement of the rachtet/gear which seems i would have thought it should have turned full circle,took it off the engine ,lever worked fine,gear turned correctly though 360 degrees no problem put back on loco same as it was before ,any ideas

sorry nearly forgot in previous life i was Mike 1451 i was after operating instructions has anybody got a copy ?

Hi
i am not an expert but have nearly completed my 1400 with a lot of help from my local club in pembrokeshire. www.pembs-me.co.uk/
The valves from winson are not good, i tried polishing them to seat them better but no matter what i did they would leak, so have replaced most with new ones from polly.


with regard the lubricator, it is only meant to have limited throw but when we tested it at the club it soon builds up enough pressure to inject oil so i was happy to leave it as pler winson. hope this is of help
