Brian, Thanks for your input, I remember your Victor very well at the last Annual Rally I attended, it either won best in class or best at Rally, I forget which. My D Comet was also at that Rally, along with Nigel, I believe you have been working your magic on Nigel, when I had custody of Nigel I improved the side stand spring as when I received Nigel the spring was weak and dangerous, especially if you went over a bump, did my modification survive? a small flat piece of metal with a keyhole shape cut into it to extend a stronger but shorter spring.
As my D Comet is a replica it is running a DKX, I guess it was all the guy who converted it could lay his hands on, I am led to believe the DKX is a better distributor, I would guess where the flywheels, and the points settle is very much luck of the drawer, especially if you forget to turn the ignition off, it would seem that I was unlucky, it flattened the battery and took the coil with it.
