Has it got a lazy plug, or is that the sound it ought to make?

It does need some fettling as all I have done is bolt the stator plate on and fit a set of plugs. It has 3 sets of points and they could probably do with setting properly but I am happy with it so far as it ticks over and sounds pretty healthy for one of these

In Deek news it fired on easy start as it appears there is no fuel getting through and I haven't got any 2 stroke mix here. I will have to go home and rob the lawn mower.
2 stroke lawn mower? You legend 8-)

I forgot the current lawn mower isn't a 2 stroke, the flymo died years ago. We do still have a can of 2stroke for the chainsaw though. It would be nice to run it on Castrol R but with a Bentley to fuel I am not made of money. Not much got done today as I have a poxy T5 transporter in for a clutch. They really are shit almost as bad as the T2
