YOu should also know by now that suzuki just use up whatever stock they have lying around :lol: I'm sure it'll run better with the correct timing, might even get away with 11-12*
Thanks, it ran much better today, it wasn't as under powered, I think I'll check the valve clearances too and make sure they are all in spec, I would advance it some more, but I'm getting a little bit of pinking on hard acceleration,

Thanks! I think so too, it's great that I can zip the side windows off, like a big bikini top! & it's easier than taking the whole roof off,

Today on my way home from work I attacked some more local (to my work) byways, and had a pretty good time, I do enjoy 'exploring'

I had a job to do today, There were some stones I needed to collect for my garden, so of course, a perfect excuse to break the zook out,

Image

Whilst unloading I noticed a bit of oil under the zook, it looks like I've developed an oil leak round the back of the head, I did the tappers last week so I've probably not fitted the gasket right, I'll have to whip it off and have a look,
