[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 55174, member: 597"] Geez Tim did you reach up and toot the whistle...:D Yes I found the decompressors also very handy for turning the engine over, without removing the plugs. This makes valve checks and ignition timing very easy. I gave the racer back to my good friend Noel, who did my exhaust system, and got him to make up another muffler and a straight exhaust extension pipe. The new muffler is much smaller and gives much better ground clearance than the first one which was too bulky, but would be great for engine runs at home. I have enough extensions to suit any track restrictions now, and I spent some time also sorting a couple of minor leaks, mostly from the return lines, and replaced the rear carb fuel bowl with a zero angle one to get the float level correct, as when it was on the rollers, the level was out too much causing the carb to drip quite a bit. So it should be ready for another run now....Cheers....Greg. [/QUOTE]
