Re: Work in progress

The beast now as a MOT pass with flying colours, as a slight flat spot but it needs new fuel and a good run then if it's not sorted its self out I will have another play with the carbs.

Re: Work in progress

New cam belt fitted just a few nuts to tighten and ignition timing to check, biggest problem I seem to have was putting the flywheel back, I used to be a engineer on industrial engines so have worked on literally thousands of flywheel mags and generators but the one on my Strada as the strongest mag...

Re: pick up connections

ROSSO1 goes to transducer for cylinder 1
