Its broken again lol
Changed the CTS and O-Rings, engine ran fine for the week or so I used it. Parked up fine, came back to use it a few days later and it wouldn't start.
Tried it again the other day and after turning over for a while it did eventually start but sounded rough as feck, like it was running on 4, then stalled.
Anything obvious likely to be the cause, and/or where should I start looking? HT leads are all in (and the right order lol), spark plug galleries are clean so the rocker covers aren't leaking oil again. Its got fuel, battery is Ok. Will remove the plugs later on and check them out. Haven't done anything to it since last use when it was running fine...
[edit] Ok not to worry, the expansion tank has dropped about half way so its probably one (or both) of the headgaskets gone. Fcuking thing
