Re: Missing farting and mostly running on one cylinder

You know I think I might of put the hose on the lug at the bottom alright, could of swore I put them back on the right places but will have to check that out then soon as. Cheers Carl was hoping it wasn't the timing. So hopefully the CCTs are ok then too.

SP oil cooler

Was just wondering, is it possible to fit an SP oil cooler to the storm as a straight swap? If so would it be better than the stork one?

Re: timing

Think I did the same, think i might of forgotten to turn it the 1 1/4 turn to get the ft mark cause I fitted new ccts yesterday and it was a bugger to start and then kept dying again, no matter how the ccts were adjusted. Not to mention a bit of bad luck I had when tightening the cam cover bolts. :(...
