    pop pop bang! rough running engine! Help needed :-)

    Listening to what most people have to say about various ignition set ups. Unless you’re running something unusual that needs very different characteristics like Mallory you’re best off right now with either stock points etc or the 123 set up. Only because so many people seem to be getting let...

    Hot Engine and Oil light on advice needed

    Absolutely following my thinking with the advancements in oil technologies and other respected people trialling and using modern style oils of the synthetic varieties.

    Hot Engine and Oil light on advice needed

    Great explanation there bud and the main thing is any oil is better than none as you said. What’s got you started on the synthetic stuff then? It’s just that I’ve noticed a few peeps going over to synthetic and most of them have a van full of worry guages so I’m sure they’re concentrating on...
