Hi Steve as you know I’m a convinced Zenoah person .Very unfortunate to have crashed your Wellington,but the repairs look like going well.
Reason for post is something that has occurred twice in my last visits to our field,both times on different 26 Zenoahs ,of which ihave six in different models. The metering needle has stuck ,so the engine won’t start,a quick removal of the metering cover and blowing some pressure to the fuel system while pressing the sprung needle till fuel runs through - problem solved and engine totally reliable. I’m putting this down to the additives used in modern petrol even though I using the 5% super unleaded.
Just thought you may have the same trouble at sometime - all the best with the rebuild.
