Well you’ve been a great help.i had an hour on it last night and think I’ve done it the cam mark is about 1mm in front of the pointer on the plastic cover and the crank mark is perfect.managed to hold the crank still with a long spanner with my foot.turned the crank twice by hand and it all turns nice and freely so hopefully I’ve managed to crack it this time just needed to stick at it

Had it started.? All sorts of fun to come.? Good luck if so, more fun to come!!!
I love rare stuff,  we're lucky to!
