Kev.......looks good in grey, i mean't to ask you at Smallwood, Where do you look to find the working history of a particular engine??
the reason i ask is, on your display you had quite a lot of information regarding what the engine had done and when?
cheers

stu ive played around with it at shrewsbury rally and it now only runs on full choke for petrol ,
but nice and smooth until warmed and ready for paraffin,
atleast i know when its ready for the heavier fuel to be turned on, and then same again when the carb is full of tvo ,
open choke and of she goes all day
so tinker time when set up and pumping water on the field is better than ,it runs and is fine at home, as thers about 3 mins before the 1/8 turn takes effect
so you soon get peed off doing it at home lol lol lol
