I found out where the spark on my sprite was tracking to by looking under the bonnet in the dark. If you do this in the garage don't stay in too long!
Haha! Done it! 150 miles without fault.
Climbed up on to the A303 at full throttle - a minute later cruising at 60. And all that ignition work pays off - its so smoooooth! Oil pressure, charge and good water temp. All's well although its a bit switchy 'cos of crosswinds - must get the rack changed. On to the M3. A steady 65 up towards Popham airfield with bags of throttle to spare. Then down pass Basingstoke at 70. Shall we try 80? Better leave it till the new rack and the nine inchers are on up front.
On to Hersham and back loaded in thick traffic - but no worries! Heavy rain but the screen no longer leaks! Hooray! Sealed beams and four spots on together! Aren't these dynamos wonderful?
Man married to Machine! Welded as one! A bit like Robocop. Ahhh!
I think I'll have another pint. MikeN.
