Don Edward Junior Member Registered: 12/31/07 Posts: 2 Loc: retired	I have a 1928 Gulbransen #274376. It has a 3 Double acting bellos motor. I just recovered the bellos and now it's out of time. It runs in a jerky motion. I need to know to set the rotary valves. or timing. Thanks for any help on this matter. The only number I found that mite help is 147475 under the motor. Don Edward

Also, Gulbrnsen motors can be tricky to recover. If it does not move freely without binding, it will also cause it to run rough. _________________________
