Hi Grumpy,
When I bought it,the motor was not running.
It could not be turne past TDC & in fact the young fella burnt out the starter motor.I used two head gaskets & got it to turn over & run. Further enquiries revealed the young fella had got
the head shaved to hot it up.I then got 30 thou taken from inside the head to reduce the compression ratio. Valve clearances
are spot on. Choke is ok. it has A LARGE ONE PIECE FLO THRU CARBY.
My next step was to lower the float level before contacting you.
Thanks again fred@howlum.com (derf)
