Hi
Bill Richards collection on Cheffins auction site has a couple of 4.00 x 3 1/2 wheels complete with tyres if they are any good.
It’s lot number 56 due to be auctioned tomorrow.
Thanks.

Last time I visited the museum which would be a couple of years ago now you could pay an extra couple of £s and a gentleman would take you to the Vulcan and would allow you to climb up inside and give you a tour of the aircraft. Entry was via a hatch and ladder at the nose carriage. Once inside it is very cramped!
Thanks

Thanks again for the help Bomberboy. Probably going to try and remove the pipe on the left and blank it off as I’m not sure of its purpose but there is a sticker on the pipe with arrows pointing the flow away from the carb body. With regards the fuel pressure gauge on the priming fuel supply, will this just measure the fuel pressure on priming/starting and not when the engine is running?
Thanks again

No problem, glad I could help.
WRT the fuel feed line, I have seen this line supply both the priming system and the fuel pressure lines on some installations, so it sounds like you have the right bits going to the right places.
What dash # 1820 is it and what is the installation fitted to or from?
If I am able to help further, you only need to ask and I’ll see what I can do.

The engine sadly has it’s data plate missing. From what I can find out it is from a Sikorsky H34 helicopter and the r1820 fitted with this model carb were the -84, -84A, -84B and the -90. The engine appears complete and in good condition. Could the two fuel lines at the top both be vapour returns?
Thanks again for the help.

Bomberboy, many thanks for the information. Any help is really appreciated as this is all very new to me and manuals/diagrams of the PD12R1 appear to be few and far between!! The fuel line with the arrow pointing to it is situated next to the fuel priming solenoid which is identified on the pic by the angled plug with the wiring coming from it. So you could be correct in what you say regarding a fuel supply for priming. In a manual I have for a wright cyclone (but of a different series) it shows a fuel pressure gauge feed coming from a similar area, so again you could be right in the line supplying the feed and the pressure gauge.
Thanks again for the help
