Before someone gets any funny idea's "the mighty pug" is not a reference to a dog or a car Of any sort, infact it's just the first name that came to my head as the pug (or pig depending on if the wonderful iPhone is having a particular obsession with autocorrect) is infact the number 1 project at the moment,
It all started about a month or so ago (Que. Swirly flashback camera work)
A friend and I bought a 5" L and Y Pug on e-bay.. The world renowned source of second hand junk that they think is worth something, thanks to crappy day time tv shows like bargain hunt and all that shite!
It was an old Winsons model and there for a little... Hazy weather it would actually work or just look prity! We duly collected it and went straight off to play but it seems that good old Winsons engineering leaves a lot to be desired!
Home it went and the work commenced.
First was a strip down wich highlighted issues, like massive float in the eccentric straps and floating axles an axle boxes, mechanical pump failures, bad pipe work, the valves were just wrong anyway you looked at them, lack of anything sealing the pistons, bad valve faces and bores, and well the list goes on!!
So the next couple of posts will be the work carried out so far, as a kinda catch up
