Hello Ian,
I received the Winson valve gear mods for my Brit. I tried them on the
engine but could not notice any difference. The basic problem I had was the
abyssmal design of piston valves allowing leakage between the bobbins and
the liners also leakages between the liners and cylinder body.
I am at a loss to understand why you need the reverser in full reverse gear
to get it to go forward. Although I do recall that the thread on the worm
drive was R.H. and I changed it to L.H.....but you're not that daft?
The best advice I can offer is to build it to the Perrier drawings. The
Winson Brit was based on these - they bastardised, sorry, productionised it!
Regards,
