| RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} V5240 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rml/LG8.11.28. 20 HP. STARTER CARBURETTER CONTROL. V5280 We have complaints from Sales that the starter carburetter control works open due to vibration. In point of fact the levers are so arranged that they do now now tend to cause the starter carb. to open under vibration. (arrgt. E.54394) Will you please alter E.74044 on 10-G-111 to the attached sketch to enable us to try more friction to overcome the trouble. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} | ||
