Re: 4Y Replace vs Rebuild

kyk ou maat - Daai 4y's se sukses le in die feit dat hulle so min krag maak - Daar is net nie genoeg torque om die wiele te veel los te breek nie. Om met n groter enjin dieselfde te vermag kos baie geduld en n mooi opgeleide petrol voet. Die pryse lyk maar hoog vir die parte aangesien die fong kong'...

Nee myne word nie warm nie - Warm word is wanneer jou skoene te hoog opgestel is - Die truuk is om die balans tussen effe swaar draai en net glad te draai reg te kry. Om die handbriek self weer te kry tot daai magic 4 click merk, is maar bloot n opstel van die handbriek kabel self. Die adjuster sit ...

Re: EFI installed - have a niggle.

Louis, ek het rpm smoothing aan en Pot is disabled. Bretton het my n vinnige toets geleer om te kyk of my dizzy se pickups nie dalk verkeerd om gekonnekteer is nie, en dit blyk wel die geval te wees. Sal deur die loop van die volgende dag of 2 gou die verandering doen en weer begin map :(

Hi,

Battling to get this item in Cape Town... Anybody out there that knows of one going spare somewhere, or of a place up further north that might have this item in stock that could ship it to me?
Current one I have is missing a few key components.
