I recently sold my BILs Scoobie for him. It had been standing for six months and two people walked away from it because of the tap. Day after that the noise was gone and it ran perfect.

Thanks Gary,
I,ve just allowed myself to breath again
I,ll change the oil & filter tomorrow & run it up to temp slowly on tick over & see what happens , another gulp of air
To be totally honest, as the engine had a full service history etc when I bought it, I haven,t even changed the Oil stem seals,
Would this be a wise move ? it doesn,t have excessive smoke on start up.
cheers
andy
