[modeleng] Re: 3" Burrell

Hi Andy,

    You asked:

    I don't have any drawings,  but there are several model Burrell 
engines around here,  I could get some photos of the arrangement for the 
damper control,  if you don't get any better offers.   Let me know.

>This the type that uses small non return clutches. Do these clutches wear out

    Unlikely that the clutch itself has worn,  more likely to be the 
shaft that they act on.   As I understand it the shaft should be dead 
hard.   Again I know someone locally that has some experience of these 
and I could make some enquiries if you want more information.

>Can anyone tell me where I can get them from, the ones on the model are about

    Any bearing supplier will be able to get them.


       Cheers,
