Got to the bottom of the megasquirt issue. And now it revs past 2000RPM!

And drove it today!!! Can't stop grinning.

Most annoying bit so far: Generator packing up half way through welding.

dont want to put a damper on things but it sounds like its not running on all the cylinders. what was the problem in the end? glad you got it sorted.

to find out which cyl is not firing start it from cold and quickly check the exhaust headers to see which one is not getting hot. don't wait too long though as they get hot really quickly.

That's looking real nice David, i know its gravelly round there so don't put it backside first in a container....

Try taking off each plug lead in turn just to be sure though...

Nice one Dave!

Rough running is likely to be the TB;s needing balancing.
