Great French Rally, merci a tous la bas.
I have a momento of the trip, anyone got one of these, I would like to discuss diagnosis and future prevention.
I just got back from France where the Rapide holed a piston.
Herewith picture.
What is the story here? Never had that problem before. All seemed fine last time I checked the plugs etc. not a big deal to repair but I do not want it to happen again. Shall I lift the needles a notch?
Standard carbs by the way and standard settings, standard B Rapide. +40 pistons in a rebore 3000 miles ago. And I have thrashed it since with no problem. I was at half throttle climbing up a shallow incline at about 70 in top. Warmish day but nothing exceptional. Any ideas?
