    Oh :-) Good luck - is it electrical problem or just needing completed?

    Mine ran great for ages then died - turned out to be the coil, after changing it I then switched it over to non-ballasted and changed to another coil (just after some advice on here) and at the moment she is running great (just reaching out to touch wood!!!) :-) Some of the pinned items on here are a great help - but dont be afraid to ask in Problems, 99% of the guys will help you no matter how dumb the questions seem (I have asked a good few dumb ones!!)

    Oh yeah then that is not bad then. Would be worth checking, especially if it isn't too expensive and there may be an improvement in the performance.

    Well it had a slight valve leak anyway as smoked on start up, so going to be changing the valves while its off. Might look on ebay or around for a better head to put on it. The tax runs out Wednesday aswell so might just sorn it for the time being

    course or lecture evaluation? I've found that they aren't very useful, only really helps the students who come next
