Inglis generator   
Nick Highfield & I concluded a deal on Friday in which he took over the 
Enfield sloper that had been sleeping the days away in my coalshed whilst I 
ran off with his Inglis generator, powered by an ABC Skootamota engine.

By the purest chance, I have an original Skootamota petrol/oil tank & this I 
shall attach to the genny in due course, lacking either as it does.

You can look at some photos here - first one by Nick.

A most satisfactory exchange of toys - I've enjoyed owning the Inglis 
set for five years or so but couldn't really see myself doing anything 
with it, but it undoubtedly represents a bit of ABC history and as far 
as I'm concerned is now in the 'right place'.

Any info on VS1 Sloper welcome - were they exclusively for Stothert and 
Pitt gear for example, I've downloaded the spare parts book from IF but 
have not found a handbook on line though I have one for the twin which 
is pretty similar.
