Hi,

What's happened to the Pintle Valve? Looks like it's missing, as well as the heater control valve top. Cannot see any sign of a different carb. balancing arrangement, unless you don't need one with the non-standard carbs that have clearly been fitted? With the crankcase open to the air, I wouldn't like to think what she sounds like when running?

All the best,

David
