i,m using the 1.8 cvh that came with my donor, tho i,m sure it,ll go bang in time for winter ;)

i,m being like a boy scout " be prepared" & so i,m collecting the bits i,ll need to rectify the above problem , bike carbs, megajolt & an engine that starts with a Z :D
& fitting a prop capable of more than the cvh can give;)

cheers
