    Hi guys.
    I’ve got ‘ten of the best’ this coming weekend, but I’ve got an issue after the rebuild. The problem is that if I rev quite high and release the throttle, the revs drop really low to about 200 and then cuts out. Seems to be more of a problem when the engine is hot.

    Thanks in advance

    Hey guys, would a crank sprocket that has a worn key, that’s gives 2-3mm of movement on the crank end, be enough to knock the timing out? If so, enough to make it sound like a bag of spanner’s and pops n bangs

    if the crank sprocket actually moving about get it sorted asap, once bolt tightened it shouldnt move at all
