    Update:
    Fitted the spring loaded main jet - which solved the fuel foaming in the bowl issue.

    An air-leak then out paid to further testing due to a light heat seize.

    Plan for 2016:
    Fitting the over-size Lectron fuel bowl.
    Replacing the crank seals
    Replacing engine bearings
    Replacing some gearbox bits

    This is going to be quite interesting, as I cannot go further than this. The ignition and suspension has already been done.

    Wish me luck for next year.
    Pics to follow once its all back together again.

    Hmmm.
    So that is what happens when you take a different role in the Corporate world and help people out.
    You lose a year of Race development...
    Fixed that as of today.

    Current status:
    Engine rebuild completed.
    Added Mossbarger reeds.
    Lectron is overfueling on top end. (Got a hefty burble and she doesn't clear)


    Next:
    Strip and clean everything, (All has been standing for months)
    Replace plug
    Check timing
    Test and assess.
