BOWMAN M122 FINISHED AT LAST
By: therat05 Date: October 4, 2020, 3:37 am
---------------------------------------------------------
I have been promising myself to find the time to start and
finish restoring this untidy but complete Bowman M122 , i have
had the engine for 4 years and have never tried to run it.
The first video is of the first attempt to run the engine on
air, not a success which was not unexpected the 2nd video is of
the finished engine after 20 or so hours of work.
Here are a few pictures of the journey from wreck to finished
engine....Steve

I couldn't resist buying the engine as it was complete, it has
been sitting on my shelf for 4 years so it was about time for it
to receive the treatment....Steve
