Gentlemen, When removing the magnetic plug, in addition to the heating, cooling and impacting methods, it is important to use the correct tool. Early engines had a 6 mm Allen fitting. Later engines h
If anybody is interested in procuring an XS fuel filler elbow/s as supplied by Tim Ward in NZ could you please let me know. I for one am a starter but we need several to constitute a batch. Regards K
Dear Jacques, I replied to your email below in late June but have heard nothing back from you again. I am wondering if that might be because of the problem you said you had with my email address. Cou
Hello Pete, In principle I understand what you are suggesting. A few years ago, an engineer chap named John Baker here in Oz modified his E uropa along those lines. On his system, each pin is replace

Gilles, Thank you again. Yes the levers on the carbs move in unison no matter how fast the throttle lever is advanced. The whole operation is very smooth and fluent. I'm no expert on any of this stuf
Hello Gilles, Sorry for the delay in replying. I hadn't considered what you have suggested thanks and only got to checking it out two days ago. The line from the equaliser tube to the pressure sensor
Many thanks once again Gilles. Mine is nothing like yours. As I said a little while back, I'm letting sleeping dogs lie at the moment. I'm certainly getting plenty of power on take-off so I don't thi
